Instructions
Making Oven-Baked Eggs is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to fully heat.
2. Gather Ingredients: Prepare all your ingredients, including chopping vegetables and cooking any meats if needed.
3. Mix Eggs and Milk: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
4. Add Vegetables and Cheese: Stir in your chopped vegetables and shredded cheese, mixing until evenly distributed.
5. Grease Baking Dish: Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
6. Transfer Mixture: Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
7. Add Meats: If using, sprinkle the cooked sausage or bacon evenly on top of the egg mixture.
8. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the eggs are set and slightly golden.
9. Check Doneness: The dish is ready when the edges are firm, and the center is no longer jiggly. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
10. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, let cool briefly, and garnish with fresh herbs. Cut into squares and serve warm.
