INGREDIENT NOTES:

EGGS:

• Eggs keep all the ingredients together and help the mixture stay in shape. They also add protein, make the recipe soft, and help it set well while baking. You can also use flax eggs or chia eggs instead, but they may change the texture and taste a little.

BREAD:

• The bread forms the base of the sandwich and gives it a soft texture. It absorbs the egg mixture and becomes light golden and crispy when cooked in the pan. You can also use whole wheat bread instead.

GRATED CHEESE:

• Grated cheese gives the sandwich a creamy and tasty flavour. It melts nicely while cooking and holds the filling together. You can also use mozzarella or Parmesan cheese, as per your choice in the recipe.

EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL:

• The extra virgin olive oil helps to prevent the eggs and bread from sticking to the pan. It also adds a light, rich flavor to the sandwich. Avocado oil or coconut oil can also be used as alternatives, depending on your preference.
