    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the egg bake cooks evenly.

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and bell pepper, cooking for about 5 minutes until they are soft.

    3

    Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat.

    4

    In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together. Add the milk, salt, and pepper, mixing until well combined.

    5

    Stir in the sautéed veggies and shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture.

    6

    Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.

    7

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is slightly golden.

    8

    Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
