Mediterranean Primavera Bake

 

Mediterranean Primavera Bake

This delicious combination of Veggies, Cheese and Eggs is easy to make, and delightful to eat.It doesn't require precise measurements of veggies or cheese, but can be thrown together according to your tastes.

The combination of zucchini, tomatoes, olives, cheese and oregano gives it a bit of a Mediterranean twist.

If you love Tomatoes, and hate Black Olives, you're free to add more tomato and leave out the olives. Likewise, if you dislike onion, just omit it.

The idea is to layer about 1 inch of vegetables into the dish, then about a cup or cup and a half of cheese, and top with blended egg mixture. 

If you'd like to make this in advance, dish can be assembled the night before covered, and stored in the fridge. The next day, uncover and bake when you're ready. It's a great dish when you plan to have friends over for brunch.

This is how I make it.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

 Grease a square glass baking dish

 In the baking dish, Layer

2 Roma Tomatoes, diced

Then Blend:

3 Eggs

1 1/2 Cups Milk

3/4 Cup All Purpose Baking Mix (such as Bisquick or Great Value Brand)

Remove from oven, and wait 5 to 10 minutes before cutting and serving. (it will deflate a little at this point - no worries!)
