Notes
Transforming this already fabulous recipe into a gluten-free delight is as easy as a morning breeze! The key lies in the sides and accompaniments. Since our main ingredients are naturally gluten-free (hello eggs, veggies, and cheese!), just ensure your bacon is gluten-free - yes, some brands sneak in gluten. Now, when it comes to serving, swap traditional bread sides with gluten-free options. Think gluten-free bagels, toast, or even a side of fruit for a lighter touch.
