Ingredients

• 8 large eggs

• 1.5 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium green bell pepper, diced

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a small amount of olive oil.

In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced red and green bell peppers and onion. Sauté for 3-5 minutes, or until the vegetables have softened slightly.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.

Step 5

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and cooked vegetable mixture until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. If desired, sprinkle the top with grated parmesan cheese for extra flavor.

Step 7

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set in the center and the edges are golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes. Slice into squares and serve warm.
