- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions

- Once the eggs are cooled, peel them and cut them in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a bowl.
- Mash the egg yolks with a fork until smooth. Add the cooked sausages, sun-dried tomatoes, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, Dijon mustard, dried oregano, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are combined.
