When you can’t eat eggs…
For those of you who are sensitive to eggs, you’re not alone. Fun fact, 30% of the population is sensitive to eggs. This can make breakfast a challenge. All the above options are egg free. Other items you can add to your bacon/sausage to fill the egg void are avocado, berries, sweet potato hash, or other veggies. Sometimes you have to think outside the box and use butterbut squash spirals, or make a breakfast bowl using cauliflower rice, sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes, and kale.
