**Make Ahead Veggie Breakfast Casserole Recipe by Little Spice Jar**
**Ingredients:**
– 8 large eggs
– 1 cup milk
– 1 teaspoon olive oil
– 1 small onion, diced
– 1 red bell pepper, diced
– 1 green bell pepper, diced
– 1 medium zucchini, diced
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 cups of your favorite cheese, shredded (cheddar or mozzarella work well)
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Set aside.
3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Add the red and green bell peppers, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook the vegetables until they are slightly softened, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Transfer the cooked vegetables to the prepared baking dish, spreading them out evenly.
6. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the baking dish.
7. Top the casserole with the shredded cheese.
8. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted.
9. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes to brown the cheese slightly.
10. Once cooked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
11. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
12. Slice the casserole into squares and enjoy immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
13. For a quick grab-and-go breakfast, simply reheat a slice in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
