Combining flavours and textures like this is hard to resist. Eggs provide the majority of the energy and protein along with choline, vitamins B2, and selenium. In addition to providing a luxurious texture, cheese is also rich in calcium and phosphorus. Bacon contributes to the decadent flavour profile, while the mushrooms add a touch of copper.
