FAQ
Can I use fresh beef instead of dried beef?
Dried beef has a unique salty flavor that’s key to this dish. Using fresh beef will change the taste and texture, but it can work if you prefer.
What bread works best for this toast recipe?
Toasted white, wheat, or rye bread all work well, but a sturdy bread like sourdough holds up nicely under the creamy sauce.
Is there a dairy-free option?
You can try using plant-based milk and vegan butter, but the sauce might be a little thinner than the traditional version.
