Another magical recipe by our lovely guest contributor Nicole Noodle 🙂 This gal seriously has a never-ending stream of fantastic ideas 🙂
The reason I LOVE this recipe is it is not only FULL of goodness as it is (and features my FAV SuperHero Food of Right Now!), but it is also a GREAT base from which to modify and make your own! Experiment with different vegies (eg zucchini, capsicum, eggplant, spinach, rocket, broccoli, etc etc! You are only limited by your imagination!), vary the protein/meat choice (I personally don’t dig bacon, so I would most likely opt for tinned or smoked salmon…. YUM!), and use it in all different situations (great as a breakfast, prepared earlier and taken for lunch the next day, or a wonderful, quick and nutritious dinner!).
It really is a wonderful base recipe from which never-ending ideas can sprout! 🙂
Enjoy and I look forward to hearing your own EGGSellent variation ;p hehe
