Tips & Substitutions
For a flavor boost, consider adding garlic or diced bell peppers to the mixture. If you want a vegetarian twist, substitute the eggs with flaxseed meal mixed with water. You can also use vegetable broth instead of mushroom soup for a lighter version. If walnuts aren't available, sunflower seeds make a great alternative.
