Want to change things up? Make it vegan by swapping the eggs for chickpeas! Mash them up with avocado and your favorite seasonings for equally delicious results. Or try adding a pinch of chipotle for a smoky kick.

FAQs

  • What can I do with leftovers? Use them in a salad or sandwich for a tasty twist, or just eat them straight out of the fridge!
  • Can I make them the night before? Certainly! Just keep the fillings and whites separate to maintain their freshness until serving time.
