Good, better, best
+ GOOD – See recipe
++ BETTER – Make it veggie: To replace the sausage meat, fry onion, garlic and mushrooms and blend it with cooked lentils or beans. Use this paste as per the recipe.
+++ BEST – Upgrade your eggs: Instead of chicken eggs, boil up premium options such as duck or quail’s eggs for a more high-end version of this starter.
