1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
-
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
-
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
-
1 small onion, diced
-
1 red bell pepper, diced
-
1 small zucchini, diced
-
1 cup baby spinach, chopped
-
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 teaspoon garlic powder

-
½ teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
-
In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and zucchini. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften. Add spinach and cook until wilted, then remove from heat.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
-
Stir in cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, cherry tomatoes, and the cooked vegetables until everything is evenly combined.
-
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
-
Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden brown.
-
Remove from the oven and allow the egg bake to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
-
Feel free to customize the vegetables based on what you have—broccoli, mushrooms, or kale work wonderfully.
-
For a dairy-free version, use plant-based milk and cheese alternatives.
-
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
-
To reheat, warm slices in the microwave for 30–60 seconds or in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes.
-
Avoid overbaking to keep the eggs soft and creamy.
