- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar to the egg mixture based on your preference.
- For an extra touch, sprinkle powdered sugar over the top just before serving.
Easy Variations
- Swap out the strawberries for blueberries or bananas for a different fruity twist.
- Add a dollop of whipped cream or mascarpone for a rich finish.
- Drizzle with maple syrup or chocolate sauce for added sweetness.
What to Serve With It
