This quick and easy baked egg dish with zucchini and tomatoes is on the dinner table in minutes.
I forgot to take something out for dinner tonight, and I couldn't face another salad and didn't want to stop at the store on the way home. There is always something you can pull together if you have eggs and vegetables. I had zucchini and tomato. I could have made the usual omelet or egg scramble, but I wanted to try something different. I decided to make a baked omelet.
Layering the veggies and topping them with cheese and egg, I baked them in the oven until they were just set.
Topped with parsley and sour cream, I really think this turned out to be a pretty supper.
You could easily replace sliced mushrooms for the zucchini if you aren't a fan of zucchini. Spinach would work great too. If you use zucchini, add a small pinch of nutmeg. Yum!
