Ingredients

Saute the Vegetables

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x13-inch pan with butter. Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped bell peppers and sliced green onions and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until the peppers are tender. Add the spinach and stir until wilted, about 2 minutes. Set aside to cool briefly.

Prepare the Egg Mixture

Crack the eggs into a medium bowl. Add the dairy, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well combined. Stir in half of the crumbled cheese, then fold in the cooled vegetables.

Bake the Casserole

Pour the egg and vegetable mixture into the prepared pan. Scatter the remaining feta on top. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes until the eggs are puffed and the center barely jiggles. A fork inserted near the center should come out clean.

Cool and Serve

Let the casserole cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before slicing. Leftovers keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheat well.

Tips & Variations

Let the sauteed vegetables cool before adding to the eggs so they don't start cooking prematurely.
The casserole will puff up in the oven and settle as it cools, which is normal.
