Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil -
1 red bell pepper, diced small -
1 yellow onion, diced small -
2 cups finely chopped broccoli florets -
1/2 cup low-fat milk -
12 large eggs -
1 teaspoon Kosher salt -
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper -
1 cup reduced-fat sharp Cheddar cheese (divided) -

Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F and coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. -
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. -
Whisk the milk, eggs, salt and black pepper together in a medium bowl. Stir in 1/2 cup cheese. Pour egg mixture over the top and cover with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. -
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.
