- Eggs and Milk:
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup milk (for a richer texture, use whole milk or half-and-half)
- Eggs are the heart of this bake, providing a fluffy texture that binds everything together. Whisking the eggs with milk helps create a creamy consistency.
- Cheese:
- 1½ cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, mozzarella, or a blend)
- Cheese adds richness and a gooey texture. For a punch of flavor, sharp cheddar or a pepper jack is a great option.
- Vegetables and Seasonings:
- 1 small onion, finely diced (optional, but adds a mild sweetness)
- 1 bell pepper, diced (any color, for extra color and flavor)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for a smoky flavor)
