Easy Vegetable Egg Casserole

Serves 10.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

• 1 red bell pepper, diced small

• 1 yellow onion, diced small

• 2 cups finely chopped broccoli florets

• 1/2 cup low-fat milk

• 12 large eggs

• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt

• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

• 1 cup reduced-fat sharp Cheddar cheese (divided)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. 

2 .Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the peppers and onions; cook, stirring often, until just softened, 4 minutes. Stir in broccoli and 2 tablespoons water, cover and cook 1 minute. Remove the skillet lid and cook until water is fully evaporated, about 1 minute. Transfer mixture to the glass baking dish, spreading it out evenly to cover the bottom.

3. Whisk the milk, eggs, salt and black pepper together in a medium bowl. Stir in 1/2 cup cheese. Pour egg mixture over the top and cover with remaining 1/2 cup cheese.

4. Bake until edges are set and top is golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool in the baking dish on a wire rack for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with pico de gallo.
