❓ Q & A
Q: Why did mine deflate?
Overmixing or under-whipped egg whites. Fold gently.
Q: Can I use full-fat yogurt?
Yes, but calories will increase and texture becomes slightly denser.
Q: Can I microwave it?
You can try 2–3 minutes in a microwave-safe dish, but oven gives best texture.
Q: Does it taste eggy?
Slightly, if unsweetened. Add vanilla or sweetener if you prefer dessert-style flavor.
