Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 red onion, skinned and diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, skinned and diced
  • 1 1/2 cups mushrooms
  • 2 cups fresh spinach (not frozen)

Egg Mixture

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup cheese (cheddar/mozzarella blend)
  • 1/2 cup dairy-free milk or dairy milk (such as Hood)
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Other

  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for sprinkling)
  • Fresh oregano, chopped (for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to prepare for baking.
  2. Sauté Onions: Heat the coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. When warm, add the diced red onions and sauté for about 10 minutes until soft and translucent.
  3. Add Garlic, Spinach, and Mushrooms: Stir in the diced garlic, fresh spinach, and mushrooms. Continue to sauté for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are slightly browned and the spinach is wilted. Then remove the skillet from heat.
  4. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, cheese, dairy or dairy-free milk, turmeric, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  5. Combine Ingredients: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Swirl gently so the spinach and mushrooms are evenly distributed. Sprinkle the chopped fresh oregano and parsley on top.
  6. Bake: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Start checking from around 20 minutes to ensure it doesn’t overcook. The bake should be set and lightly golden on top.
  7. Serve: Remove from oven and serve warm, ideally with bacon or sausage for a hearty meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute the cheese blend with your preferred types, such as Gouda or Swiss.
  • Use fresh herbs for the best flavor; dried herbs can be substituted but use about one-third of the quantity.
  • This recipe can be made dairy-free by using dairy-free milk and plant-based cheese alternatives.
  • Keep an eye on the bake towards the end of cooking to avoid drying out.
  • Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated.
