Ingredients
Vegetables and Dairy
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small onion (about 1.5 cups diced)
- 5 ounces baby spinach
- 1 cup milk (any kind of choice)
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
Eggs and Seasonings
- 12 eggs
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (191 degrees C). Grease a 9×13 baking dish thoroughly and set it aside to prepare the egg mixture.
- Sauté Onions and Spinach: Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and baby spinach, cooking for 5 to 7 minutes while stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes tender and the spinach is wilted.
- Mix Eggs and Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 12 eggs and 1 cup of milk until combined. Add the cooked onions and spinach, crumbled feta cheese, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the egg mixture, stirring until evenly incorporated.
- Assemble and Bake: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Place the dish on the center rack of the oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes. The egg bake is done when the eggs have set completely and are no longer jiggly in the center; a toothpick inserted should come out clean.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the egg bake from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing into 8 rectangles. Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful Mediterranean-inspired breakfast.
Notes
- Make Ahead: Complete steps through pouring the egg mixture into the greased baking dish. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When ready to eat, remove foil and bake as directed.
