Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese cheddar or Monterey Jack
  • 1/4 cup diced bell peppers optional
  • 1/4 cup diced onions optional
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
