3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon dried minced onions
pinch ground nutmeg
4 ounces cooked, diced ham
1/2 teaspoon Montreal steak seasoning
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese, divided
Steps
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes.
2. Pat mushrooms dry, if needed. Place butter in pan; swirl to coat. Add mushrooms; cook 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until browned.

4. Whisk together in medium bowl, eggs, whipping cream, onions, and nutmeg, until blended.
