Tips, food safety & substitutions
Let the egg filling cool before stuffing so the cheese does not melt out early. Food safety: cook eggs until set; serve hot. Allergens: egg, wheat (gluten) and milk (cheese, ghee, dahi). Substitute: use paneer instead of cheese, or add chopped spinach to the filling.
