Cook's Tips:

*Raw egg is not recommended for infants, the elderly, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems. To avoid the risk of salmonella, you can use ¼ cup (60 mL) of pasteurized whole eggs, pasteurized egg alternatives, or aquafaba (from regular or low-sodium chickpeas).

Any mildly-flavored oil can be used in this recipe, but avoid extra virgin olive oil as the flavor is too strong and may become bitter.
