We’ve made this dish lots of times recently, sometimes adding chopped breakfast meat and/or 1/2 cup of diced onion. Use whatever squash you have. Makes tasty leftovers.
- 1-1/2 cups zucchini (unpeeled), sliced and quartered or cut into wide rectangular sticks
- 1-1/2 cups yellow squash (unpeeled), sliced and quartered or cut into wide rectangular sticks
- Olive or canola oil
- 1 large red, orange or yellow pepper, diced
- 1 or 2 cups chopped spinach
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 6 eggs
- ¾ c milk
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- Tater tots (optional) that have been browned in the oven or waffle iron
- COOK squash in a bit of oil until tender. Move the vegetables to the side of pan. Add a small puddle of oil to the center of the pan.
- ADD the dry spices and stir then place the spinach in the pan and stir for a few minutes.
- SPOON the veggies into a sprayed pie plate or 9 inch square glass pan and allow to cool.
- PREHEAT oven to 350°.
- MIX eggs and milk in a large bowl and pour over the veggies.
- BAKE for about 20 minutes, until filling is set, it will not brown much.
- WHILE the dish is baking, prepare tater tots (if using).
- SPRINKLE tater tots and cheese over the egg mixture and bake for a few more minutes.
