- Optional: 1–2 tsp Dijon mustard or hot sauce
- Optional: 1 tsp dried herbs or 1 tbsp fresh parsley
- Optional: 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack
Instructions

- If using optional ingredients, add them now and mix to incorporate.
- Fold in the crushed crackers or potato chips. Mix gently until distributed.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper.
