This looks absolutely delicious! I will try to make this for the weekend.
These are amazing. I had some for breakfast, and my family and I loved them. Thank you!
That’s wonderful! Thanks for letting me know! I am so happy you all enjoyed them!
These look delicious. I am just wonderng if they freeze well.
Honestly, I have never tried freezing them but I think you could. Bake them and let them cool. Possibly wrap individually before placing in a freezer bag. They will also keep in the refrigerator for 5 or 6 days in an air-tight container. Hope that helps!
Thank you for replying Susan!
Thank you for replying Susan! Have a great day.
I would like to know:
1) can you make them with just egg whites?
2) The sodium and potassium seem high? I left out the salt, but if I reduced the ham then both would be reduced. Correct?
Yes, to both. You can make them with only egg whites and yes if you reduce the amount of ham or remove it altogether it would reduce those other items. Ham can be very salty. Try using uncured ham for a healthier option. It has fewer additives and preservatives.
