Egg and Sorrel Casserole - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I substitute sorrel with another leafy green?

Yes! Spinach or Swiss chard make great substitutes for sorrel. Keep in mind that spinach has a milder taste, so you may want to add a splash of lemon juice for tanginess.

Is there a dairy-free alternative for the cream in this recipe?

Absolutely! Coconut cream or unsweetened almond milk can replace dairy cream. For thickness, stir in a teaspoon of cornstarch while simmering.

How long can I store leftovers, and what's the best way to reheat them?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 180°C for 10 minutes or until warmed through to maintain texture.

Can I make this casserole vegetarian or vegan?

For vegetarian, simply ensure eggs and dairy are organic/free-range. For vegan, use tofu or chickpea flour 'eggs' and plant-based cream alternatives.

What can I serve with this casserole for a complete meal?

Pair it with a crisp green salad, roasted vegetables, or crusty bread for a balanced meal. A light white wine also complements the tangy sorrel flavors.

How can I adjust this recipe for fewer or more servings?

For fewer servings, halve all ingredients and use a smaller baking dish. To scale up, double ingredients and extend baking time by 5-10 minutes if needed.

Can I freeze this casserole for later use?

Yes, but freeze before baking for best results. Assemble the dish, wrap tightly, and freeze for up to 1 month. Bake from frozen, adding 10-15 extra minutes.

My sorrel puree is too thin—how can I thicken it?

Simmer longer to reduce, or mix 1 tsp cornstarch with 1 tbsp cold water and stir into the puree while cooking until desired consistency is reached.
