Pro Tips
Some variations and finishing touches include:
- Smoked Paprika Sprinkle
Dust lightly with smoked paprika for subtle heat and a pop of warm color contrast. - Spicy Kick
Add a teaspoon of hot sauce, chipotle in adobo, or finely minced jalapeño to the yolk mixture for extra flavor. - Fresh Herb Finish
Top with finely chopped chives, dill, or parsley for brightness and a freshness.
