Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly grease an oven-safe baking dish (an 8-inch square dish works well) with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
- Crack the 8 eggs into a large mixing bowl.
- Add the 1/2 cup of milk to the eggs.
- Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Whisk the mixture until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Dice the zucchini into small, bite-sized pieces.
- Finely chop the broccoli florets.
- Finely dice the onion.
- If using fresh dill, chop it finely. If using dried dill, ensure it's measured out and set aside.
- Add the diced zucchini, chopped broccoli, diced onion, and dill to the egg mixture.
- Mix well to ensure that the vegetables are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it is evenly distributed.
- Pour the egg and vegetable mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly in the dish.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the egg bake is puffed up and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the baking dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Slice the vegetable egg bake into squares and serve warm.
- This dish can be served on its own or with a side salad for a complete meal. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious vegetable egg bake with cheddar cheese!
Tips:
- Make sure to finely chop the vegetables so they integrate well with the egg mixture and cook evenly.
- Feel free to swap or add other vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, or tomatoes for extra color and nutrients.
- Use freshly grated cheddar cheese for the best melt and flavor, as pre-shredded cheese may contain additives that affect its melting qualities.
- For a creamier texture, you can substitute whole milk with half-and-half or even heavy cream.
- Let the egg bake rest for a few minutes after taking it out of the oven. This helps it set and makes it easier to slice.
