Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using butter instead of margarine. If you're out of coffee cream, half-and-half or milk can serve as a substitute. To add more texture, mix in some shredded cheese or diced jalapeños. Ensure the casserole dish is well-greased to prevent sticking. This dish can also work as a base for your own variations, like adding ingredients from American recipes.
