What I love about this high protein meal is that you can change up the vegetables or cheese any way you like (use jalapenos, onion, different mushrooms, or use cheddar or feta). Adding bacon, pancetta or ham would also be tasty. I really don’t think I have made this exactly the same way twice and that helps prevent the dish from becoming boring.
