Notes

*For this recipe, I used 150mL of JUST Egg, an egg alternative. We love it because it cooks up just like regular eggs and can usually be substituted directly into recipes (1 egg = roughly ~50mL of JUST Egg from my experiences). Rob has an egg allergy, and this plant-based alternative is helpful for us.
**If you don't have blueberries, strawberries, or finely chopped pears work well
