Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using Dijon mustard instead of regular mustard. If you want a creamier texture, mix in some Greek yogurt with the mayonnaise. You can also substitute the olives with capers for a different taste. Ensure that the eggs are at room temperature before peeling, as this can help minimize any cracking and make peeling easier.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these eggs ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the egg mixture a day in advance. Just store the yolk mixture in the refrigerator and assemble the eggs just before serving to keep the whites fresh. This makes them a convenient option for meal prep or entertaining.
What can I use instead of mayonnaise?
If you're looking for a healthier alternative, you can use avocado or a mixture of Greek yogurt and mustard to achieve a creamy consistency without mayonnaise. This adds a unique flavor and keeps the dish lighter.
How can I make these eggs spicier?
To add some heat, incorporate a few dashes of hot sauce or cayenne pepper into the yolk mixture. You can also mix in finely chopped jalapeños or add a sprinkle of chili powder on top for an extra kick.
