Customization Tips:
-
- Don't have homemade ciabatta? No problem! Use a high-quality store-bought whole wheat wrap or whole wheat bread. Toast it lightly for added texture.
- Not a fan of bacon? Experiment with turkey bacon, tempeh, or even crumbled sausage for a protein twist.
- Want to add more veggies? Sauteed peppers, onions, or mushrooms would be delicious additions to the filling.
- Feeling adventurous? Try different cheeses like swiss, gouda or cheddar instead of feta.
- Craving a touch of sweetness? A drizzle of hot honey would go nicely on this
- Need a spread to add? Try mashed avocado with everything bagel seasoning, (Note: if making these for meal prep, avocado will turn brown, best if served fresh)
