Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups bread (day-old, cubed)
- 1 medium zucchini (diced)
- 1 medium red bell pepper (diced)
- 1 large carrot (grated)
- 2 cups spinach (chopped)
- 6 large eggs
- 1.5 cups milk
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced zucchini, red bell pepper, minced garlic, and grated carrot. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft. Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Gently stir in the cubed bread, sautéed vegetable mixture, and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly mixed.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
