👩‍🍳 Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Vegetables:
    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
    In a large bowl, combine broccoli, cauliflower, peppers, tomatoes, onion, and greens.

    Pour egg mixture evenly over vegetables.
    Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and veggies are tender.
    Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

    1/4 cup reduced-fat shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or feta)
    1–2 tbsp light breadcrumbs on top (mix with spray for crunch)
