# Expert Advice:
01 -
- You can sneak in leftover veggies, making boring fridge odds and ends feel gourmet.
- The light, fluffy texture is honestly just as satisfying as the real thing, and you get to start your day feeling bright.
02 -
- If you rush the cooking and use high heat, the egg whites will turn rubbery instead of fluffy.
- Covering the pan is key for even setting without needing to flip—the top steams beautifully every time.
03 -
