  1. preheat oven to 375°
  2. Cut up any veggies you are using and saute in a pan for 5-7 minutes to cook.
  3. Add eggs to a large bowl and whisk then add the rest of the ingredients. Reserve 1/4 cup of cheese for topping.
  4. Spray a 9x9" pan with cooking spray and dump mixture in. Bake for 40-45 minutes. The last 5 minutes of the cooking top with the remaining 1/4 cup of cheese. When it's done the middle shouldn't jiggle when you shake the pan.

Notes

I often substitute the peppers in this with canned pickled peppers from our garden
For higher protein and lower fat, use 4 whole eggs and 3 servings of egg whites
