I was honestly prepared to dislike this recipe; I don't like eggs, and I don't like cheese! But I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was fantastic. I did make quite a few changes to suit a kosher diet: I skipped the butter, and I made a single serving using a quarter of an onion, about two ounces of canned mushrooms, one slice of Lightlife vegetarian bacon, about half an ounce of Vegan Alternative cheddar "cheese," three egg whites, and a quarter cup of almond milk. The nutmeg seemed like an odd touch, but I added a dash anyway. Made for Photo Swap. Thanks for posting!
