  2. While the egg is boiling, toast your rice bread or rice tortilla, OR alternatively prepare your vegetables for salad..
  3. While the egg is resting on pot, chop half of a small onion then place them on a small bowl. On the same bowl add hummus, dijon mustard, cayenne / chili powder, and olive oil (optional). Set it aside for a bit..
  4. Fish out the egg from pot using laddle or spoon. Cool it through running water until bare hands can handle it. You don't want it too cold -- we want its heat to melt mozarella a bit for later..
  5. De-shell the egg (careful it might still be hot) and place it on the same bowl of the premade mixture. Coarsely mash it, add shredded mozarella, then add 1 leaf chopped lettuce. Mix them well..
