Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 2 tbsp bell pepper, chopped
- 4 slices deli chicken, chopped
- Handful arugula
- 2 tbsp grated Gouda cheese
- 1 tsp nutritional yeast
- Salt and pepper to taste
The fun thing about this recipe is that you can substitute the bell pepper for any other vegetable of your liking. Also, you can substitute the deli chicken for shredded chicken or tofu.
If you’re in the soft foods stage, omit the arugula and bell pepper and substitute for baby spinach or cooked carrots.
Fun fact: Nutritional yeast is deactivated yeast that has about 3 grams of protein per 2 teaspoons (5 grams).
