Swaps or Alternatives

• Egg whites
  • This recipe can be used with liquid egg whites in a container or from fresh eggs, whatever your preference is! You can also use whole eggs, if preferred. 
• Cottage cheese
  • The cottage cheese helps provide another source of protein and a small amount of fat. This ingredient helps to provide density and give the final product a little bit of fluff. If you are following a dairy free diet, you can replace this with a dairy free alternative.
• Mozzarella cheese
  • So much of the flavor of this recipes comes from the cheese. If you are following a dairy free diet, you can replace this with a dairy free alternative. You can also use any kind of cheese, I just prefer the taste of mozzarella with the combination of the other ingredients used.
• Produce
  • This recipe calls for spinach, green onion, and roasted red peppers. Although, you can use any veggie combination of your choice. You can use fresh or frozen spinach. If you are using frozen spinach, make sure to defrost and squeeze out all of the extra liquid prior to mixing it into the egg mixture. Although, there is no need to cook the frozen spinach prior to using it as long as you squeeze out the excess liquid.
• Hot sauce
  • The hot sauce is an optional ingredient, although it gives this recipe so much flavor! If you like spicy food, feel free to use more. If you don’t like spice, feel free to fully omit this ingredient.
• Salt and pepper
  • You most likely already have salt and pepper on hand, so I highly recommend using these spices in this recipe. If you’d like additional flavor, you can also add in other spices such as garlic powder, onion powder, or red pepper flakes.

Quick Tip(s)

• This recipe can be made with fresh or frozen spinach. If you are using frozen spinach, make sure to defrost and squeeze out all of the extra liquid prior to mixing it into the egg mixture. Although, there is no need to cook the frozen spinach prior to using it as long as you squeeze out the excess liquid.
