Notes

For a healthier twist, consider swapping regular mayo with Greek yogurt or avocado. Keep the egg texture chunky for a satisfying bite; don’t overmix. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Stir before serving, as it may settle. Serve on soft white bread, toasted sourdough, or even lettuce wraps for a low-carb option. Enjoy it with crackers or on top of a salad for a delightful meal!
