Ingredients

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk I used whole
  • 3 cups spinach chopped chopped
  • 1 large large onion diced
  • 1 pepper diced
  • 2 tbs butter
  • salt and pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese I used a white cheddar. You can always add more

Instructions

  • In a large skillet (mine is a 12 inch cast iron), place butter, onions, and a dash of salt on low to medium heat. We are trying to caramelize the onions so this takes quit awhile. This also gives it a much richer flavor. If you don't have a ton of time than just saute until soft.

  • While the onions are cooking, rough chop the spinach, grate the cheese (if not using pre-grated cheese), and dice the pepper.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.In a large bowl, crack the eggs and whisk in the milk, salt, and pepper.
  • After the onions are pretty caramelized add in the green peppers and cook until softened.
  • Add in the spinach and stir until wilted.

  • Top with cheese and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until completely cooked.
  • If you want it to be a little browner, pop it into under the broiler for 2-3 minutes. Allow to cook for a few minutes, and serve.
