Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. 

  2. Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the peppers and onions; cook, stirring often, until just softened, 4 minutes. Stir in broccoli and 2 tablespoons water, cover and cook 1 minute. Remove the skillet lid and cook until water is fully evaporated, about 1 minute. Transfer mixture to the glass baking dish, spreading it out evenly to cover the bottom.  

  3. Whisk the milk, eggs, salt and black pepper together in a medium bowl. Stir in ½ cup cheese. Pour egg mixture over the top and cover with remaining ½ cup cheese. 

  4. Bake until edges are set and top is golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool in the baking dish on a wire rack for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with pico de gallo.  

     

    Note: The USDA recommends cooking egg dishes to 160 degrees Fahrenheit.

To ensure food safety, eggs should be cooked until both the yolk and the white are firm. Consuming raw or undercooked eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially for those with certain medical conditions. For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served, use either pasteurized shell eggs that have been treated to destroy Salmonella, or use pasteurized egg products.
