Preparation

  2. Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute before serving.
Serving
  1. Top with creamy avocado sauce, chopped tomatoes, or onions if desired.
  2. Serve with fruit or a smoothie for a complete meal.

Notes

Store leftovers in the fridge up to four days or freeze for later use. Reheat gently to avoid overcooking the eggs.
