Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a splash of cream or half-and-half to the egg mixture. If you're out of Swiss cheese, Gruyere or even cheddar can work as tasty substitutes. To enhance flavor, mix in some chopped herbs like chives or parsley. Make sure not to overbake; check for doneness by gently shaking the dish to see if the center is set.
