FODMAP Notes

Almond milk is low FODMAP. Clarified butter (ghee) is virtually lactose-free and safe for most. Use gluten-free bread without high-FODMAP ingredients. Maple syrup is a FODMAP-safe sweetener.

Tips

  • 💡 Clarified butter won't burn as easily as regular butter
  • 💡 Stale bread soaks up custard without getting too soggy
  • 💡 Let coated bread rest briefly for better absorption
  • 💡 Serve immediately for crispy edges
