Pretty Good, I did cut down on the salt and added a no salt chipotle seasoning mix.

We make ours with spinach and feta cheese. I make them every week - great grab and go.

Great recipe! I use sea salt because we need our electrolytes. I’m doing carnivore. I’m making this again. I did half with chicken, half with sirloin steak. Yum!!! Ty

  All "salt" is not just salt. Refined boxed famous salt has other additives, including forms of sugar. She "said it like that" because she knows that people who are "doing keto" and other carb refusing lifestyles especially need to get in our electrolytes. Sea salt, among other salts on the market most often contain other trace minerals which are good for us. Reading labels has become a new hobby for some of us. Putting the best form of what we need into our bodies is a new lifetime goal. So, don't be confused. And enjoy health!

  All salt is an electrolyte, so I’m confused why you mentioned it like that?

Why is the nutrition measured for 3/4 of an egg cup? I plan to eat a whole one, at least.

Can you use dark meat instead of breast meat?

  Yes! This should not change your carbohydrates, but this may add an additional 1 gram of fat per serving!

  Hey keep in mind that cheddar cheese has the highest carb count. I didn’t know that last time I did keto.. if that pertains to your choice of plans

Love them. Used cheddar instead of blue cheese. May have over baked but still awesome.
