However if you want to buck tradition just a bit, you can swap in some ingredients to spice things up. One of our favorite swaps is to change deli ham, for the slightly more flavorful and beautiful mortadella. If you want things a bit lighter, you can swap the bacon for turkey bacon, or even use some veggie bacon! Not interested in 3 different types of meat?
