Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare an 8-inch square baking dish or 9-inch pie pan.

Prepare vegetables, using a paper towel to squeeze out excess water from zucchini.

In a skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add in diced bell pepper and onion, stirring to cook for about 5 minutes, until onions are translucent.

Reduce heat to medium and add in shredded zucchini and chopped broccoli. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Cook, stirring often, for about 5 to 7 minutes or until water is mostly cooked out of zucchini. (Note: If your zucchini is too watery, you will end up with a runny casserole.)

Spread vegetables into prepared baking dish. Crack eggs into a medium bowl and whisk together until well combined. Pour over vegetable mixture and bake for 24 to 28 minutes, until eggs are set.

Let cool for 10 minutes, cut and serve.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Prep Vegetables Evenly 🥬
Cut broccoli, zucchini, and bell peppers into uniform, bite-sized pieces so they cook evenly throughout the casserole and avoid mushy or undercooked spots.
Pre-Cook Harder Vegetables 🔪
Sauté broccoli and zucchini in olive oil for 2-3 minutes before adding to the egg mixture to ensure they're tender and prevent excess moisture from making the casserole watery.
Whisk Eggs with Care 🥚
Whisk eggs thoroughly with salt and black pepper for 30-45 seconds until completely homogeneous, creating a smooth, evenly-textured casserole rather than streaky results.
Don't Overbake the Eggs 🕐
Remove the casserole when the center is just set but still slightly jiggly (160°F internal temperature) as eggs continue cooking from residual heat and won't become rubbery.
Rest Before Serving ⏸️
Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes after removing from the oven to allow the structure to set, making clean portions easier and improving the overall texture.
