Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 0.25 cups milk
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 0.5 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 cups spinach leaves
• 1 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
• 4 slices whole wheat bread slices, cubed
• 1 teaspoons butter, for greasing

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a medium baking dish with butter to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red bell pepper and onion, sautéing for 4-5 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until wilted. Remove the skillet from heat.

Step 5

In the greased baking dish, spread out the cubed bread slices as an even layer.

Step 6

Distribute the cooked vegetable mixture over the bread cubes evenly.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and bread, ensuring it seeps through all layers.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and golden brown.

Step 10

Allow the dish to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Breakfast Surprise 2!
