🥚 Ingredient notes
- Eggs - Two whole eggs is a typical serving for one person. This recipe can be doubled or tripled to serve more people.
- Butter - Use unsalted butter to help make these eggs super creamy. Dairy free butter can also be used.
- Waffles - I like serving these eggs over crispy toasted waffles. You can also serve them over toast, on a bagel or english muffin for a sandwich or by themselves!

- Veggies - Substitute the tomato and spinach for chopped scallions, asparagus or sweet or hot peppers.
- Herbs - Try chopped fresh chives, basil, oregano or parsley.
