Substitutions

If an ingredient is missing

Tortillas or flatbread work for wraps; stale bread is better for crumbs, pudding and croutons.

For baking, flax egg or apple purée can sometimes replace egg, but binding, lift and moisture will differ.

Use a cheese with similar moisture and melt; hard and soft cheeses behave differently.

A substitution can change texture, binding, leavening, taste, moisture, or cooking time.

Prep and storage

Keep the ingredients ready to use

Freeze sliced bread so you can toast only what you need.

Keep eggs refrigerated and cook dishes promptly after cracking.

Wrap cut cheese well and keep it refrigerated.
