Ingredient notes

As for the main ingredient Eggswe like organic brown for the health benefits but even more so because they are much richer in flavor for sure. No need to mix in a bowl, whisk everything in your large mug with a fork.

In our case one of our favorite add ins would be either packaged or homemade and crisped Bacon bits or precooked sausage diced would work too.

Cheddar cheesewe mean whatever variety you like, shredded, makes it cheesy and ooey gooey, another must for us.

Mushrooms are great, button white ones, but should be diced into small bite size pieces and folded in with salt and pepper.
