For those who like egg dishes, this is a huge hit. It’s good for any meal or snack of the day and packs a nutritional punch. Feel free to experiment with the veggies and herbs a bit. The best thing about it is it’s a great way to get mom to eat her greens!
Try pairing this with a lovely side like the Carrot Ginger Salad.
