2. Interactive Ingredients Checklist & Keto / High-Protein Swaps

When it comes to making this recipe, the key is to use high-quality ingredients and the right ratio of cheese to egg mixture.

I like to use a combination of cheddar cheese, parsley, and chives for a rich,

savory flavor, and a sprinkle of chopped cooked bacon for a smoky depth.

Chef Sofia’s Tested Swaps (High-Protein · Keto/Low-Carb · Air Fryer)

• High-Protein Boost: Add 1/4 cup crumbled cooked chicken or 1/4 cup chopped cooked ham to the egg mixture for an extra 10g protein.

• Keto & Low-Carb Swap: Replace the cheddar cheese with 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese and reduce the egg mixture to 1 large egg for a 5g carb reduction.

• Air Fryer Option: Cook the bread toasts in an air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 5-6 minutes, shaking halfway through, for a crisper texture.
