Ingredients
-
8 large eggs
-
1 cup milk
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon black pepper
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon onion powder
-
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
-
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
-
1 cup broccoli florets, chopped
-
1 bell pepper, diced
-
½ cup diced onion
-
1 cup sliced mushrooms
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1 teaspoon dried oregano
-
1 teaspoon dried basil
-
Optional: chopped spinach, zucchini, or tomatoes
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil or non-stick spray.
-
In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, and broccoli. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender but still crisp. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until fully blended.
-
Spread the sautéed vegetables evenly in the greased baking dish. Sprinkle half of the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses over the vegetables. Pour the egg mixture on top, ensuring it covers the vegetables evenly. Top with the remaining cheeses and sprinkle dried oregano and basil over the casserole.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
-
Allow the casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
-
Use fresh vegetables for the best flavor and texture; frozen vegetables may release extra water.
-
Cheese variations like Monterey Jack, Colby, or Gruyère can add different flavor notes.
-
Assemble the casserole the night before for an easy breakfast or brunch option.
-
Sautéing firmer vegetables beforehand helps maintain a creamy, non-watery texture.
-
Customize with seasonal vegetables or add protein like cooked chicken or lentils if desired.
