Add vegetables: Incorporate 1/2 cup of chopped veggies into the mixture. Feel free to experiment with your favorites or what you have on hand.
Season: Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and any herbs you desire, mixing everything until evenly distributed.
Pour into the dish: Transfer the mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Look for a set center and a lightly golden top as indicators that it’s ready.
Cool and serve: Once baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Cut into squares or wedges and serve warm.
