Tips
- You can use whole wheat flour for extra fiber or a gluten-free blend if needed.
- For cheese, try mozzarella for a milder taste or Parmesan for a sharper kick.
- For milk, use whole milk for a richer texture or swap with almond, oat, or soy milk for a dairy-free option.
- If needed, substitute eggs with a flax egg (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp water).
- If you don’t have paprika paste, mix regular paprika with a little olive oil or use smoked paprika for extra depth.
- Substitute fresh parsley with cilantro, basil, or dill for a different flavor.
- Swap chives with green onions or finely diced shallots.
- Adjust salt & pepper seasoning to your preference.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, sour cream, or a squeeze of fresh lemon for extra flavor.
