Tips & Substitutions
For a fluffier texture, ensure the eggs are beaten well until they are light and frothy before adding the other ingredients. You can substitute the lean sausage with turkey or chicken sausage for a healthier option. Fresh herbs like parsley or thyme can replace chives for a different flavor profile. If you prefer a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free flour blend.
