Substitutions

If an ingredient is missing

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

Sweet potato can replace potato, but it is sweeter, softer and may cook faster.

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
