Why it works
- Celiac disease: Gluten-free rice flour binds the crustless egg filling.
- Wheat allergy: Rice flour, eggs and vegetables keep wheat out of every part.
- Gluten-free: Gluten-free rice flour binds the crustless egg filling.
- No spicy food: Thyme seasons the mild egg and vegetable filling without chili heat.
- Tree nut allergy: Olive oil and a simple egg filling contain no tree nuts.
Celiac check: watch for hidden gluten in soy sauce, stock, malt vinegar and seasoning blends, and oats that aren’t certified. Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice: always check labels for allergens and cross-contact.
