Season Beyond Salt and Pepper
A squeeze of lemon juice brightens the flavor, while fresh herbs like dill, parsley, or chives add freshness. A pinch of paprika or celery seed can deepen the flavor profile.
Texture is King
Soft eggs need contrast. Finely diced celery, red onion, or even pickles bring a pleasant crunch. The key is to chop them small enough so they blend rather than overpower.
