Notes

*Make sure your eggs are hard-boiled and ready to go before starting the recipe. I use our easy stovetop method for making hard-boiled eggs! Please add an extra 15 minutes to the preparation time if you're cooking your eggs specifically for this recipe.

**If you can't find large tomatoes, three regular-sized ones should work! I like to scoop the seeds out of my tomatoes as it helps to keep the crackers crunchy for longer.

***Feel free to adjust the amount of mayonnaise if you want it more or less creamy.
