Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
- 12 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) milk
- 1 cup (150 grams) chopped bell peppers
- 1/2 cup (75 grams) diced onions
- 1 cup (30 grams) chopped spinach

- 1/2 cup (75 grams) cooked and crumbled turkey sausage (optional)
Seasonings:

Cooking Preparation:
- Non-stick spray
Instructions
- Prepare the baking surface by lightly coating a sheet pan with non-stick spray, ensuring complete coverage for easy egg release.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly combine eggs and milk, whisking until the mixture achieves a smooth, uniform consistency.
- Season the egg blend with salt and pepper, creating a balanced flavor profile that enhances the overall taste.
- Incorporate colorful bell peppers, diced onions, and fresh spinach into the egg mixture, distributing ingredients evenly for a balanced distribution of flavors and textures.
- Optional protein additions like turkey sausage or shredded cheese can be gently folded into the mixture for extra richness.
- Carefully transfer the egg mixture to the prepared sheet pan, using a spatula to spread the contents into a thin, even layer that will cook consistently.
- Position the sheet pan in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven, allowing the eggs to bake for 15-20 minutes until they become firm and fully set.
- Verify doneness by observing a golden surface and checking that the eggs no longer appear liquid in the center.
- Remove from the oven and allow the sheet pan eggs to cool for 2-3 minutes, which helps them set and makes cutting easier.

Notes
