Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk or heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- ½ cup onion, diced
- ½ cup bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup spinach or other leafy greens
- ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or feta)
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Sausage or mushrooms (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk or cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Heat olive oil or butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion and bell pepper for 3–4 minutes until softened.
- Add spinach and cook until wilted. Stir in any optional ingredients such as sausage or mushrooms.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables. Gently stir once to distribute evenly and sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
- Cook on the stovetop for 2–3 minutes until the edges begin to set.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the center is fully set and no longer jiggly.
- Remove from oven, cool slightly, slice, and serve.
Notes
- Sauté vegetables first to remove excess moisture and prevent a watery texture.
- For a dairy-free version, skip the cheese and use unsweetened almond milk.
- Add diced potatoes or sweet potatoes for a heartier meal.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Freeze individual portions for up to 2 months and thaw overnight before reheating.
- Can be enjoyed warm, at room temperature, or cold.
