Is there a suitable sub for eggs for this recipe? I’m allergic to egg whites.
Hello Elaine! We haven’t experimented omitting or swapping eggs in this recipe. If you are feeling adventurous, we’d love to know the results and we can offer a few potential solutions. One, simply omit the whites and use 4 egg yolks instead of 2 whole eggs. Two, on the internet you can look up a recipe called “flax eggs” which is successful in many recipes. Three, a combo of egg yolk and flax egg. Keep us informed!
