Notes

  • Calories provided are an estimation per serving.
  • Use fresh herbs like chives and parsley for a bright flavor.
  • You can substitute mayo with additional yogurt for a lighter version.
  • Soft boiled eggs are cooked for around 6-7 minutes to achieve a slightly runny yolk.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to your taste preferences after mashing.
