Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs beaten
  • 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar or your choice
  • 1/2 cup vegetables chopped bell peppers or spinach
  • 2 tablespoons milk optional for fluffiness
  • 1 teaspoon herbs dried or fresh, such as parsley or chives
  • to taste salt and pepper

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Baking Dish
  • Oven
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with butter or non-stick spray. Chop vegetables into small, uniform pieces and set aside. Grate or shred cheese and prepare herbs.
    6 large eggs
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (if using), salt, pepper, and herbs until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy. Create visual evidence of well-blended eggs with no streaks of yolk or whites.

  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula or spoon. The surface should be smooth with no spills outside the dish.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, until the top is golden brown, edges are set, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The casserole will puff slightly and produce a gentle baking aroma.
  6. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, with the top displaying a crispy, golden crust, and the interior looking moist and fluffy.

Notes

For extra flavor, add cooked bacon bits or sautéed mushrooms before baking.
