Notes
Can I use egg whites or whole eggs? You can use some whole eggs (up to 3), but the taste and texture will change. 1 cup of egg whites is the best substitute. Egg yolks add richness and act as a binder, while egg whites act as a leavener, so they keep the flavor lighter.
Make it dairy free: You can use Siggis plant based to keep this dairy free.
