Ingredients

Vegetables & Aromatics

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or spinach (optional)

Egg Mixture

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp dried oregano

Cheese

  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan (optional)

Other

  • Cooking spray or butter for greasing the dish

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
  2. Sauté Onions: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes.
  3. Cook Mushrooms and Garlic: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they soften and their moisture evaporates, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
  4. Whisk Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano until well combined and slightly frothy.
  5. Combine Ingredients: Stir the sautéed mushroom mixture, 1 cup crumbled feta cheese, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan (if using), and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or spinach (if using) into the egg mixture, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.
  6. Pour and Smooth: Pour the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula for even cooking.
  7. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden brown.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing into 9 squares. Serve warm or at room temperature for a delicious brunch treat.

Notes

  • You can substitute the feta cheese with goat cheese or ricotta if preferred.
  • Adding fresh herbs like thyme or basil can enhance the flavor.
  • For a vegetarian option but not vegan, ensure the cheese and eggs are part of your diet; this recipe is not vegan.
  • These squares can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
  • Make sure mushrooms are cooked well to avoid excess moisture in the baking dish.
