Method
 

  1. Turn oven on to 400 degrees
  2. Prep all veggies starting by washing peppers & broccoli and tomatoes, place in colander to drain off water.
  3. Cut broccoli into large bite size florets, including steams, and set aside.
  4. Cut Peppers in half, removing seeds and inner membrane, dice into small pieces and set aside.
  5. Cut Cherry Tomatoes in thirds and set aside in small bowl.
  6. Rinse Cilantro and put in salad spinner to wick away water, and set aside.
  7. Dice onions into small pieces and place in a small mixing bowl.
  8. In a large pot, place steamer basket inside, add 2 cups water and bring to boil.
  9. Add Broccoli florets and steams, turn burner to medium and steam approx. 5-6 min until just tender enough to pierce with a fork.
  10. Remove broccoli and allow to cool before cutting into smaller bite size pieces.
  11. In a large skillet, turn burner to medium and add olive oil.
  12. Once skillet is heated, add onions stirring consistently to start to sear.
  13. Slowly Add 2 table spoons white cooking wine (alcohol cooks out), and continue to sauté for fabulous flavors.
  14. Add Peppers to onion mix and move around to get the caramelize flavors.
  15. Remove peppers and onions and set aside.
  16. Start by cracking 12 eggs into a medium mixing bowl
  17. Add Whole Milk and Sour Cream (gives it a rich fluffy yet dense consistency)
  18. Add spices and salt/pepper to eggs mixture and whisk or use electric beaters until thoroughly blended.
  19. Spray baking dish with PAM Olive Oil Spray.
  20. Add all veggies including cilantro to baking dish
  21. Pour egg mixture over veggies, using a fork to disperse evenly.
  22. Once oven reaches 400 degrees, place in medium rack.
  23. Cook for approximately 30 minutes (depending on how your oven cooks).
  24. Add shredded cheese and goat cheese to top and continue cooking.
  25. Check eggs doneness by looking for lightly browned edges and top. The center should reach 160F degrees.
  26. ** If more inner cook time is needed but top is browning, you can cook with foil over the top of the casserole dish.
  27. ** For larger gatherings where more eggs are required, add more cook time. With 24 eggs I've had to cook 45 minutes.
  28. ** 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.
  29. ** Like to SPICE IT UP? Add green chilies and jalapeños .
