Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and rewarm gently to avoid scrambling.
- Use ghee instead of butter for a nuttier flavor or try vinegar in place of lemon juice for a tangy twist.
- Add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard for a zesty kick or use vegetable broth instead of butter for a lighter sauce.
