- 3 whole Egg Whites
- ½ cups 2% Milk
- 1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
- ½ teaspoons Garlic Powder
- 4 ounces, weight Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Divided
- 4 ounces, weight Shredded Gruyere (Mozzarella, White Cheddar Or Pepper Jack Would Work), Divided

Whisk eggs, egg whites, milk, Dijon and garlic powder in a large bowl. Add half of the cheese and all of the bacon.

Garnish with chives and enjoy!
