Can I use a different fat besides butter?

I have only used butter for this recipe, however if you want to make this recipe vegan, you can use a neutral oil like canola or vegetable oil! I would not use any stronger flavored oils because it could disrupt the flavor of this dish!

Can I make this recipe vegan?

Yes! Just replace the butter with canola or vegetable oil.
