Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup broccoli florets (chopped)
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 8 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/4 cup feta cheese (crumbled, optional)
- 1/4 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
- to taste salt
- to taste freshly ground black pepper
- pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
- fresh parsley or chives (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish or a similarly sized oven-safe casserole dish.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the diced red bell pepper, zucchini, and broccoli florets to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 7-10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the tomatoes just begin to soften.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the 8 large eggs and 1/2 cup of milk until well combined. Season the egg mixture with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Evenly distribute the sautéed vegetable mixture into the prepared baking dish. If using, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the vegetables.
- Pour the whisked egg mixture evenly over the vegetables and feta cheese. Top with the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
- Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives, if desired.
Notes
- This casserole is great for meal prep and can be stored in the fridge for several days.
