Instructions

Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 400°F (or 350°F if using a muffin tin or baking dish).
Whisk eggs: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with cream, ¾ of the shredded cheese, herbs, salt, and pepper.
Sauté vegetables: Heat olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add chopped vegetables and sauté for 6–8 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook 1 minute more.
Add greens and meat: Stir in leafy greens and cook until wilted (2–3 minutes). If using, stir in cooked meat like crumbled bacon.
Add eggs: Pour egg mixture over the veggies and meat in the skillet. Stir gently to distribute evenly. Let cook undisturbed for 2 minutes until edges begin to set.
Bake: Top with remaining cheese and transfer skillet to the oven. Bake for 12–14 minutes or until just set in the center.
Finish and serve: Let cool slightly. Top with fresh herbs and flaky salt if desired. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Great for using leftover veggies or meats. To make dairy-free, substitute cheese and cream with plant-based alternatives. Can be portioned and stored for meal prep.
