1 tsp dill
0.18g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

- Whisk the mixture until well combined and slightly frothy.
4. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Dice the zucchini into small, bite-sized pieces.

5. Combine Ingredients:
- 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.
6. Add the Cheese:

- Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly in the dish.

9. Cool and Serve:

- Slice the vegetable egg bake into squares and serve warm.
10. Enjoy!
- 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.

This Vegetable Egg Bake with Cheddar Cheese is not only delicious but also versatile and easy to prepare. Whether you're serving it for a special occasion or a regular family meal, its hearty combination of eggs, fresh veggies, and melted cheese is sure to please everyone at the table.
