Variations and Substitutions

- Bacon - If you're not a fan of bacon, you can substitute it with cooked sausage or ham. You can also omit the meat altogether for a vegetarian option.
- Milk - If you don't have heavy cream on hand, you can use milk instead. For a dairy-free option, coconut milk works well too.
