Why do you add heavy cream to the eggs?
Some would say that you should use a splash of water in your eggs to make them fluffier, but I have not had success when I’ve used water in the past.
Every time that I have used heavy cream, my eggs are fluffier and it also adds more healthy fats to the recipe which makes it’s easier to stay within your daily macros.
Is a ham and cheese omelet good for you?
Eggs are a staple in most households. They can be prepared so many ways and there is almost no limit to the yummy, delicious meals you can enjoy using eggs!
Even better, they’re super affordable! A dozen large eggs will cost you around $2 at your local grocery store. That’s a pretty amazing deal for food that it’s so versatile.
What can you replace the egg with?
You may be wondering what other options are available to you if you don’t want to have as many eggs in your diet. Eggs are the main portion of this recipe, if you have an egg allergy, try this dairy-free chaffle for breakfast.
