💭 Thoughts and Variations
Wanna make it even healthier and lighter? Use only half the bacon.
And if you are willing to give up on some of the flavor, you can simply leave out the bacon. But I don't think you should do that! After all, we all know that bacon is just irresistible 😉
Add green onions or chives for extra flavor and fresh chopped parsley for extra freshness.
