Ingredient Tips

Eggs
Use large eggs for the best structure and fluffiness.

Spinach
Fresh spinach gives the best texture. If using frozen, drain very well to avoid excess moisture.

Feta Cheese
Feta adds saltiness and tang. Goat cheese also works beautifully.

Milk or Cream
Milk keeps it lighter. Cream makes it richer and creamier.
