These are delicious!! I’m awful at not making breakfast because I don’t have time, so this is such a quick fix in the mornings. I look forward to this every morning!!
What is the carb count, using the Keto bread?
I made these, I used regular english muffins. I am not a pepper fan in all my food so next time i would not use peppers but other than that these are great and stay fresh.
