Notes

Sausage options: ham, farmer’s sausage, or bacon bits work well.
Leftover potatoes can be roasted, pan-fried, or even fries — just adjust salt if potatoes are seasoned.
Cheese: parmesan can be swapped for cheddar, grana padano, or other sharp cheeses.
Milk: any kind of milk (dairy or unsweetened plant-based) works.
Use a large non-stick skillet with a lid to ensure even cooking without burning.
An electric mixer or whisk makes beating egg whites easier, but a strong whisk works too.
