Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup milk
Vegetables & Cheese
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup spinach
- 1/2 cup feta cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers
- 1/2 cup chopped onions
Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to warm up while you prepare the casserole mixture.
- Whisk eggs and milk: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined and slightly frothy to ensure a smooth base for the casserole.
- Combine ingredients: Add the diced tomatoes, fresh spinach, crumbled feta cheese, chopped bell peppers, chopped onions, oregano, salt, and pepper to the egg mixture. Stir gently until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Prepare the baking dish: Grease a medium-sized baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking and pour the combined mixture into it, spreading evenly.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The casserole should be set and slightly golden on top when done.
- Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to cool slightly for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and serving to enhance flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can customize this casserole by adding olives or substituting the feta with goat cheese for a different flavor.
- For a dairy-free version, replace milk with almond or soy milk and omit cheese.
- Use fresh herbs like basil or parsley for added freshness and aroma.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
