I don’t understand why your picture of the baking dish shows the eggs unbroken when obviously they should be combined with the cream BEFORE adding the other ingredients… I think that would be confusing for some folks.
Hi Kathy, Thank you for your feedback! For some reason your comment ended up on the wrong post – I think you were referring to the Keto Smoked Salmon Breakfast Casserole. I understand your point and can see how that would be confusing. It was a photo mistake that I didn’t catch, and I’ve removed the photo in question so it fits with the directions.
