Notes & Tips

Add a veggie boost: Stir in spinach, arugula, or finely chopped kale.
Flavor it up: A sprinkle of cumin, thyme, or nutritional yeast adds depth.
Batch prep idea: Double or triple the recipe and store portions in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Egg-free? Swap in a chickpea flour scramble if tolerated (not for early stages of Candida cleanse).
