I cannot find the Cajun seasoning alternative listed

How long can these stay good in the fridge?
This recipes will be good in the fridge for at least 4 days. Make sure you have the proper containers so they stay properly sealed
How long will these last in refrigerator?? Say if you want 3 for your breakfast that week?
These will last 4 days in the fridge! We hope you enjoy the recipe!
Is half and half necessary in the recipe? What is it for, just to add some more fat?
Hi JB, you could swap the half and half for any variety of milk instead. If you don’t use the milk/half and half, the eggs won’t be as fluffy.
