Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1.5 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 0.5 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 cup spinach, roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a small amount of olive oil.
In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced red and green bell peppers and onion. Sauté for 3-5 minutes, or until the vegetables have softened slightly.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes, until wilted. Remove the skillet from heat and set the vegetable mixture aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and cooked vegetable mixture until evenly distributed.
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. If desired, sprinkle the top with grated parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set in the center and the edges are golden brown.
Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes. Slice into squares and serve warm.
Enjoy your Holiday Egg Thing Breakfast with toasted bread or a side salad for a wholesome holiday meal!
