  4. Thinly slice green onions and chop the green olives.
  5. Mix mustard mixture into the chopped eggs and then mix in the sliced green onion and chopped olives.

Notes

  • Greek yogurt can be substituted with sour cream if desired.
  • Do not overcook the eggs to prevent a grayish ring around the yolk.
