- 2 Tbsp White Wine to sauté onions
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 Tsp Garlic Powder
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Turn oven on to 400 degrees
- Prep all veggies starting by washing peppers & broccoli and tomatoes, place in colander to drain off water.
- Cut broccoli into large bite size florets, including steams, and set aside.
- Cut Peppers in half, removing seeds and inner membrane, dice into small pieces and set aside.
- Cut Cherry Tomatoes in thirds and set aside in small bowl.
- Rinse Cilantro and put in salad spinner to wick away water, and set aside.
- Dice onions into small pieces and place in a small mixing bowl.
- In a large pot, place steamer basket inside, add 2 cups water and bring to boil.
- Add Broccoli florets and steams, turn burner to medium and steam approx. 5-6 min until just tender enough to pierce with a fork.
- Remove broccoli and allow to cool before cutting into smaller bite size pieces.
- In a large skillet, turn burner to medium and add olive oil.
- Once skillet is heated, add onions stirring consistently to start to sear.
- Slowly Add 2 table spoons white cooking wine (alcohol cooks out), and continue to sauté for fabulous flavors.
- Add Peppers to onion mix and move around to get the caramelize flavors.
- Remove peppers and onions and set aside.
- Start by cracking 12 eggs into a medium mixing bowl
- Add Whole Milk and Sour Cream (gives it a rich fluffy yet dense consistency)
- Add spices and salt/pepper to eggs mixture and whisk or use electric beaters until thoroughly blended.
- Spray baking dish with PAM Olive Oil Spray.
- Add all veggies including cilantro to baking dish
- Pour egg mixture over veggies, using a fork to disperse evenly.
- Once oven reaches 400 degrees, place in medium rack.
- Cook for approximately 30 minutes (depending on how your oven cooks).
- Add shredded cheese and goat cheese to top and continue cooking.
- Check eggs doneness by looking for lightly browned edges and top. The center should reach 160F degrees.
- ** If more inner cook time is needed but top is browning, you can cook with foil over the top of the casserole dish.
- ** For larger gatherings where more eggs are required, add more cook time. With 24 eggs I've had to cook 45 minutes.
- ** I normally have side dishes, so if eggs are done first, I'll keep them in a "warmer" with foil on top to keep moisture in.
- ** Like to SPICE IT UP? Add green chilies and jalapeños .
