Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these triangles ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the filling and assemble the triangles a few hours in advance. Just cover them and place them in the refrigerator. Bake them fresh when you're ready to serve for the best texture.
What can I use instead of bacon?
You can replace the bacon with diced ham or cooked sausage for a different flavor. For a vegetarian option, consider using sautéed mushrooms or a blend of vegetables to maintain the heartiness of the dish.
How do I know when the egg is fully cooked?
The egg mixture is fully cooked when it is set and no longer jiggly. It should also be slightly puffed and the top should be golden brown. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
