Swap the cheese: Try sharp cheddar, feta, or even vegan cheese alternatives.
Add-ins: Incorporate finely chopped jalapeños, olives, or sun-dried tomatoes for a Mediterranean twist.
Sweet version: Omit the cheese and salt, add 2 tablespoons of sugar, and fill with a dollop of jam before flattening for a sweet breakfast treat.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I use flour instead of cornstarch?
– Cornstarch gives a unique tender texture and gluten-free property. Regular flour will change the consistency.
What kind of cheese works best?
– Semi-soft cheeses like mozzarella melt well, while aged cheeses like Parmesan add a richer flavor. Feel free to experiment.
Can I bake them instead of cooking in a skillet?
– Yes, bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 15 minutes or until golden, but the stovetop version yields a crispier crust.
Is this recipe gluten-free?
– Yes, as long as you ensure your cornstarch is certified gluten-free and you avoid cross-contamination.
Can I freeze the dough?
– Yes, portion the dough and freeze individually wrapped pieces. Thaw in the fridge before cooking.
