Notes
Looks delicious! I’m going to try it. It’s missing the rest of the instructions but I think I can figure it out.
Sorry for that! Just gave the recipe a little update. I recently swap to a new recipe plugin and it seems that some recipes instruction have been lost along the way. Enjoy! XOXO Carine.
Just made these – substituted almond flour for the panko and used Daiya Dairy Free Mozzarella “cheese.” The kids and I really enjoyed them. Served with soup for dinner. Thanks for the recipe!
Thanks for sharing your options. I love to hear that those are easy to make with dairy free cheese too! Enjoy the blog recipes with the kids. XOXO Carine.
