Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter option, consider using egg whites instead of whole eggs. You can also replace the ham with sautéed vegetables for a vegetarian twist. If you want added flavor, sprinkle some herbs like chives or parsley over the top before baking. Ensure the biscuit edges are sealed well to prevent filling from leaking out during baking.
