Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350° F and grease a 9” deep pie dish or an 8”x8” baking dish; set it aside.
  2. In a frying pan over medium heat, add all of the chopped vegetables and sauté until they are slightly browned.
  3. Sprinkle paprika, garlic powder, and cumin over the vegetables and cook for 1-2 minutes until spices are aromatic. Remove from heat, fold in herbs and cheese and transfer everything to the greased pie dish.
  4. In a mixing bowl, add the eggs, water, salt, and pepper. Whisk until combined and slightly frothy. Pour the egg mixture slowly over the vegetables until just covered.
