FAQ

  • Can I use dried herbs instead of fresh?

    While fresh herbs are preferred for their vibrant flavor, you can use dried herbs in a pinch. Use about 1/3 teaspoon of dried herbs per serving, as dried herbs have a more concentrated flavor.
  • What other herbs would work well in this recipe?

    Other good choices include thyme, oregano, and rosemary. Experiment and find your favorite combination!
  • Can I add cheese to these eggs?

    Absolutely! Sprinkle some grated cheese (like cheddar, mozzarella, or Parmesan) over the eggs during the last minute of cooking. Let the cheese melt slightly before serving.
