Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 0.25 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 cup onion, diced
- 0.5 cup bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- 0.5 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1 teaspoon butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, salt, and black pepper until smooth and slightly frothy.
Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet (8-10 inches in diameter) over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for another 1-2 minutes until wilted.
Spread the cooked vegetables evenly across the skillet, then pour the egg mixture on top, ensuring it covers the vegetables.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the egg mixture.
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggcake is set and the top is lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes.
Carefully loosen the edges with a spatula and slide the eggcake onto a cutting board or serving plate. Slice into wedges and serve warm.
