1 cup milk (for a richer texture, use whole milk or half-and-half)
Eggs are the heart of this bake, providing a fluffy texture that binds everything together. Whisking the eggs with milk helps create a creamy consistency.
Cheese:
1½ cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, mozzarella, or a blend)
Cheese adds richness and a gooey texture. For a punch of flavor, sharp cheddar or a pepper jack is a great option.
Vegetables and Seasonings:
1 small onion, finely diced (optional, but adds a mild sweetness)
1 bell pepper, diced (any color, for extra color and flavor)
Salt and pepper, to taste
¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for a smoky flavor)
