- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon butter or nonstick cooking spray (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick cooking spray and set it aside.

Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading the ingredients evenly for consistent baking.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the casserole is set in the center and the top is lightly browned.
