Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes. I often prep the eggs in the morning and leave the filling in the fridge, then assemble shortly before serving. It keeps the texture best when the filling is fresh.

How do I prevent the egg whites from tearing when I color them?

Pat the whites gently and handle them with a flat spoon. If you dye them, do not agitate them too much in the dye bath. Lift straight up and set them on paper towel to dry.

Is there a way to make the filling without mayonnaise?

Yes. Use plain Greek yogurt or mashed avocado for a healthier alternative. You may need to adjust salt and acid to keep the flavor bright.

Can children help with this recipe?

Absolutely. Kids can help mash yolks, stir the filling, and arrange the finished eggs. Give them safe tasks and praise their work. It turns cooking into a shared memory.

How should I transport these for a party?

Place them in a single layer in a container with a paper towel underneath. Do not stack. Keep the container chilled until you arrive at the party and place on a platter when you get there.
