Chef’s Notes:
● Can be baked in a cupcake tin. Bake for 15-18 minutes
● Leftovers can be frozen in individual slices for breakfasts later in the week. Wrap individually in plastic wrap and place in freezer bad. Microwave to reheat
● Use leftover slices for breakfast sandwiches or on toast or a bagel
● Make it vegetarian! Omit the meat and add extra veggies.
