Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, warm a splash of olive oil. Add the diced onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 4–5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the garlic, bell peppers, and zucchini. Cook for another 5 minutes until the peppers are tender.
  4. Toss in the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Add the sautéed vegetable mixture to the egg mixture, followed by the feta cheese. Stir until combined.
  7. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Cooking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden.
  2. Allow it to cool slightly before cutting into squares. Enjoy warm!

Notes

Use seasonal veggies for the best flavor. Prep the veggies ahead of time. You can add cooked sausage, bacon, or even quinoa for added protein. Store leftovers in portions for convenience.
