Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until vegetables are softened and any liquid is mostly evaporated. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook just until wilted. Remove from heat.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
4. Spread the sautéed vegetables evenly in the prepared baking dish.
5. Sprinkle shredded cheese and crumbled feta (if using) over the veggies.
6. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables and cheese.
7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is just set and the top is golden. If desired, broil the top for an additional 1-2 minutes to achieve more color.
8. Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve.
