Ingredients
How to make it
- At 0 minutes
Heat the oven
Heat to 375°F. Use an 8-inch oven-safe skillet or baking dish.
- At 3 minutes
Whisk
Crack the 6 eggs into a mixing bowl, remove any shell fragments, and whisk until yolks and whites are combined. Add the optional tablespoon water or milk and a pinch of salt and pepper. Wash hands after handling eggs.
- At 6 minutes
Fill
Oil the pan and spread the cooked vegetables and cheese evenly. Pour eggs over them.
- At 10 minutes
Bake
Bake 18 to 22 minutes, until the center is set and reaches 165°F because the filling includes previously cooked vegetables.
- At 30 minutes
Rest
Rest 5 minutes before slicing; chill extra wedges promptly.
Store and reheat
RefrigerateRefrigerate within 2 hours in covered portions. Use within 3 to 4 days.
FreezeCooked egg dishes can be frozen for 2 to 3 months for quality, though the texture may become spongy.
ReheatReheat a wedge to 165°F; cover loosely so it does not dry out.
Safe preparation and storage
- Chill perishable food promptly in shallow containers, within 2 hours of cooking or serving; shorten that limit to 1 hour when the air temperature is above 90°F. Do not wait for a large pot to cool completely on the counter.
- Keep the refrigerator at 40°F or below and the freezer at 0°F or below. Thaw the portions specified in the plan in the refrigerator, not on the counter. Freezer durations describe quality, not a safety expiration.
- For microwave reheating, use a microwave-safe cover with a steam gap, stir or rotate the food, and follow the appliance or package standing-time instructions. Check several spots after standing; reheated leftovers must reach 165°F. Bring reheated soups and sauces to a rolling boil.
- Keep raw poultry and eggs separate from ready-to-eat food. Do not rinse raw chicken; wash hands and clean utensils and work surfaces after handling it.
- Discard perishable food left out beyond the applicable time limit. Reheating is not a way to make improperly stored food safe. Smell and appearance cannot prove that food is safe.
- For allergies, check every product and substitute label and prevent cross-contact. An allergen note is not a guarantee. Choose pasteurized yogurt and cheese. For a vegetarian meal, choose cheese labeled vegetarian or confirm its rennet source with the manufacturer.
- Cooking times, yields, and meal sizes here are estimates pending kitchen testing; measure the actual batch before assigning portions.
