INGREDIENTS
6 large eggs, separated
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives or scallions (Your choice. I like both)
1 tbsp Tastic spice*
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
5 oz salad mix (your favorite kind)
1/2 cup grape tomatoes

1/4 cup sliced cucumber

DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 400F.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks, chives (or scallions) and Tastic.
3. In a separate bowl, with an electric mixer on medium speed, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Using a rubber spatula, fold whites into yolk mixture.
4. Melt the butter in a large ovenproof skillet and coat the whole pan.
5. Add egg mixture to skillet and sprinkle cheese over top. Bake at 400 for 10 minutes or until eggs are puffed and golden. Optional: Add additional Parmesan as a garnish.
