Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 0.25 cups milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 0.5 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cups spinach leaves
- 1 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 slices whole wheat bread slices, cubed
- 1 teaspoons butter, for greasing
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a medium baking dish with butter to prevent sticking.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red bell pepper and onion, sautéing for 4-5 minutes until softened.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until wilted. Remove the skillet from heat.
In the greased baking dish, spread out the cubed bread slices as an even layer.
Distribute the cooked vegetable mixture over the bread cubes evenly.
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and bread, ensuring it seeps through all layers.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
Allow the dish to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Breakfast Surprise 2!
