Description
I make this every Christmas morning and sometimes Easter. It’s a hit, supper yummy AND EASY!!! Great for those watching carb intake but wanting something tasty at a brunch. You could absolutely add bacon, sausage, veggies if you’d like but it really is amazing as is.
This recipe calls for regular flour, but I use almond flour to make it gluten free and more keto friendly. I also like to double the recipe so we have leftovers for a couple of days (it really doesn’t last long at my house). It makes for an easy breakfast or snack that is full of protein and healthy fat. Just heat it up in the microwave.
