Ingredients & Health Benefits

Eggs: Organic eggs are an excellent source of high-quality protein and essential nutrients, including vitamin B12 and choline, which support brain health and muscle function.

Ham: Organic ham provides a good source of protein and essential minerals such as zinc and selenium, which are important for immune system health. I'm using leftover from my Savory Mustard Herb Ham recipe, but you can also use deli ham too. It's important to buy organic ham because it is minimally processed and free of nitrates, hormones, and more.

Salted Butter: Organic butter contains healthy fat! You could also use ghee or olive oil here if you prefer.

Bell Peppers: Bell peppers are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, which help boost the immune system. I'm using orange here, but any color would be delicious!

Mushrooms: Organic mushrooms are a low-calorie source of essential nutrients, including B vitamins, selenium, and potassium, which support energy metabolism and cardiovascular health.

Red Onion: Organic red onions are high in antioxidants and sulfur compounds, which can help reduce inflammation and improve heart health.
