👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Dice the onion and bell pepper into small, even cubes. Slice mushrooms and chop spinach.
2️⃣ Sauté the Vegetables
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Add onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until translucent.
Stir in bell pepper and mushrooms. Cook another 3–4 minutes until softened.
Add spinach last and cook just until wilted. 🥬
3️⃣ Mix the Eggs
While veggies cook, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until smooth and slightly frothy.
4️⃣ Add Cheese & Combine
Sprinkle half the cheese over the vegetables in the skillet.
Pour egg mixture evenly over everything.
Top with remaining cheese.
5️⃣ Cook & Bake
Let cook on the stovetop for 2 minutes until edges begin to set.
Transfer skillet to the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the center is just set and slightly puffed. The top should be lightly golden. ✨
6️⃣ Cool & Slice
Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps it firm up for clean slices. 🍳
