FAQ

Can I make this dairy-free?

Yes, simply substitute the feta for a plant-based alternative or omit it entirely and add sautéed mushrooms for texture.

How do I keep the spinach from getting watery?

Make sure to dry your spinach well after washing, and sauté it in the pan long enough to evaporate excess moisture before adding the eggs.

What sides pair well with this?
