Scale

- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon paprika (optional)
- ¼ cup green onions, chopped
Instructions
