# Expert Hints:
01 -
- 39 grams of protein per bowl means you stay full until lunch without that mid morning crash
- Takes 25 minutes from fridge to table, perfect for weekdays when you want something special but dont have time to be fancy
02 -
- I learned the hard way that broilers vary wildly, so check after 1 minute to prevent burning your cheese to a crisp
- If your skillet isn't oven safe, transfer everything to a small baking dish before broiling
03 -
- Pat your vegetables dry with paper towels before cooking to prevent the eggs from becoming watery
- Grate your own cheese instead of buying pre shredded, it melts so much better
