This is one of my go to recipes for healthy weeknight dinners. We add additional veggies like diced tomatoes, peppers or squash which I sauté with the onions and mushrooms. If you do this, you might want to reduce the mushrooms. We also use whatever cheese we have on hand like gruyere or Parmesan. I use all whole eggs and 1% milk.
