Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.

2. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onion, bell peppers, and mushrooms until they are tender (about 5-7 minutes). If using sausage, add it during the last 2 minutes of cooking; season with salt, pepper, oregano, and basil.

3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined.

4. Spread half of the tomato sauce evenly in the baking dish.

5. Layer with half of the mozzarella cheese, then add the sautéed vegetables (and spinach if using). If sausage is included, mix it in with the vegetables.

6. Pour the egg mixture over the layers, then top with the remaining tomato sauce.

7. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan evenly over the top.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the bake is set and bubbly.

9. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

– For a vegetarian version, omit the sausage.

– Serve warm and garnish with fresh basil if desired.

– Adjust seasoning to taste and experiment with additional vegetables based on your preference.
