Notes

This is a very versatile recipe.  Have fun experimenting with meat, vegetable, and cheese options!
You can substitute broccoli with asparagus or spinach (fresh or frozen)
The number of eggs used can be flexible -- 6-10 are best.
Substituting other shredded cheese options is a good way to change up flavors
Cooked bacon could be exchanged for sausage.
Don't overbake!  It will continue to cook after removing from the oven!
