Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ahead of time?
This recipe is best enjoyed freshly cooked while everything is still warm, but you can prep your ingredients the night before to save time in the morning.
What can I use instead of feta?
If feta isn’t to your taste, a soft goat’s cheese or a light crumbling of mozzarella both work well as substitutes.
Is this recipe suitable for kids?
It’s a great option for older kids and adults, though little ones may prefer the components served separately rather than stacked — try laying the bacon, egg and asparagus out on the plate as an easy alternative.
