Tips & Variations

FAQs
Can I make this recipe vegan?
This recipe relies on eggs, cheese, and butter, so it’s not vegan as is. To make it vegan, substitute the eggs with a tofu scramble, use vegan cheese, and replace butter with a plant-based alternative.
Can I prepare this recipe without an ovenproof skillet?
If you don’t have an ovenproof skillet, you can cook the mixture in a regular frying pan, then transfer everything to a baking dish before adding the eggs and brie to bake in the oven.
