• 6 add the vegetables and the cheese to the eggs. stir everything together and pour into the pie plate or dish. (you can also pour it into a prepared pie crust if you want).
• 7 bake for 50-60 minutes. you’ll know it’s cooked because it will puff up.
• 8 once cooked, let it sit for 20 minutes at room temperature before serving. (it tastes better if it sits even longer, ie. 1-2 hours. you can also make it in the morning, let it sit, then reheat for the evening. it doesn’t need to be served super hot, just warm).

• 10 use cream cheese instead of yogurt, or a bit of both.
• 11 change the vegetables & cheese to:
• 12 -spinach, red onions, & feta,
• 13 -potatoes, red peppers, onions, & parmesan (use ½ cup only) & rosemary (goes sooo great with the potatoes)
• 14 -roasted red peppers, onions, brie (freeze the brie first, then you can shred it without it falling apart)
• 15 -mushrooms, asparagus, onions, swiss cheese.
• 16 -red & onions, green onions, any cheese you have.
