Ingredients

 

  • 12 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  5. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

  6. Remove the skillet from heat and let the vegetable mixture cool slightly.

  7. Add the sautéed vegetable mixture, shredded cheddar cheese, and crumbled feta cheese to the bowl with the whisked eggs. Stir gently to combine.

  8. Pour the egg and vegetable mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.

  9. Bake the egg bake casserole for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are golden brown.

  10. Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.

  11. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
