- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
- 2 cups spinach, fresh
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

- 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with a bit of olive oil or non-stick spray.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet, and sauté for about 5 minutes, until they start to soften.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender.
Stir in the spinach until it wilts, about 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
Add the cooked vegetables from the skillet to the egg mixture.
Gently mix in the cherry tomatoes, cheddar cheese, feta cheese, salt, black pepper, oregano, and thyme.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-45 minutes, until the eggs are fully set and the top is lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy your savory vegetarian breakfast egg bake.
