    }
}

async Task<List<E2Entity>> GetE2Data()

    using(var MyCtx = new MyCtx())
    {
         return await MyCtx.E2.Where(bla bla bla).ToListAsync();
    }

EF doesn't support processing multiple requests through the same DbContext object.
If your second asynchronous request on the same DbContext instance starts before the first request finishes (and that's the whole point),
you'll get an error message that your request is processing against an open DataReader.
