Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups diced vegetables (e.g., spinach, bell peppers)
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your egg bake will cook evenly and thoroughly.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the 6 large eggs. Use a whisk or fork to beat the eggs until they are well combined and slightly frothy.
- Add 1 cup of milk to the beaten eggs. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and homogenous. The milk will help make the egg bake fluffy.
- Season the egg mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Start with a pinch of each and adjust according to your preference.
- Prepare your diced vegetables. You can use a mix of 2 cups of vegetables such as spinach, bell peppers, onions, or any other vegetables you prefer. Make sure they are chopped into small, even pieces for even cooking.
- Stir the diced vegetables into the egg and milk mixture until they are evenly distributed.
- Grease a baking dish (approximately 9x13 inches) with cooking spray or a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
- Pour the vegetable and egg mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese over the top of the egg mixture. You can use any cheese you like, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the egg bake is set in the center and lightly golden on top.
- To check if it’s done, insert a knife or toothpick into the center; it should come out clean if the egg bake is fully cooked.
- Once cooked, remove the egg bake from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Cut into squares or wedges and serve warm. Enjoy your Basic BB Egg Bake as a delicious breakfast or brunch option!
