Ways to Switch It Up

Common Questions
Can I use whole eggs instead?
Yes, you can use whole eggs. The texture will be richer and more yellow. The protein count will still be excellent.
How do I know when they are done?
The centers should be firm to the touch. They should not jiggle when you move the tray. They will look slightly puffed.
