Ingredients

  • 12 eggs
  • 4 cups cooked vegetables* Try a combination of frozen (steamable), fresh or canned
  • cup ricotta cheese You can sub in any cheese but the ricotta did seem to make them extra fluffy
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 tsp dill seasoning
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • cooking spray

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
  • Prepare the veggies either in the microwave or if using fresh, prepare in any way you like (saute, boil, roast, or steam)
  • Add the vegetables to a bowl and mix in the garlic, salt and pepper.
  • Distribute the veggies evenly in a greased muffin tin using cooking spray
  • Whisk the eggs, milk and ricotta together in a small bowl for two minutes and stir in the dill seasoning.
  • Pour the egg mixture slowly over the veggies. It will seep into the cracks and crevices. Fill each cup almost full.
  • Bake for 30 minutes. Test their doneness by inserting a knife or tooth pick and having it come out clean.

Notes

*For my version I used a bag of steamable broccoli and steamable sweet potatoes.
