Quick Notes
- to make vegan: replace the eggs called for in this recipe. You can make an egg substitute using flax seed and water which is a popular and effective option. To replace 1 egg, simply whisk together 1 tablespoon of ground flax seed with 3 tablespoons of warm water. Let it sit until it becomes gel-like and then you can use it in the recipe. Since this recipe calls for 2 eggs, you’ll need2 tablespoons of ground flax seed and 6 tablespoons of water.
