Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of hot sauce for a bit of heat. If you prefer a creamier texture, you can substitute the mashed avocado with Greek yogurt or sour cream. For a twist, try incorporating fresh herbs like dill or cilantro. Ensure the eggs are perfectly hard-boiled to avoid a chalky texture.

Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To maintain the best texture, cover the surface of the mixture with plastic wrap to minimize oxidation. Reheat gently in a microwave on low power if desired, but it's best enjoyed cold.
