Notes
Seasonings, especially salt, are guidelines - adjust to taste.
Variations:
Bacon: Add 2 tablespoons of bacon bits to the yolk mixture and garnish the eggs with a tablespoon of bacon bits.
Spicy: Add ¼ teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the yolk mixture and garnish the eggs with a seeded and sliced jalapeño pepper.
Avocado: Skip the ingredients except for the eggs. Mix 4 tablespoons of prepared guacamole into the yolks. This version is the easiest and also my favorite in terms of flavor.
Yogurt: Replace the mayonnaise with whole-milk Greek yogurt or sour cream. Pour any liquid from the top of the container before using to prevent it from being too watery.
Leftovers:
You can keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. I don't recommend freezing the leftovers.
