Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  4. Toss in your mixed vegetables and sauté for about 5 minutes until slightly softened yet still crisp.
  5. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Spread the sautéed vegetable mix evenly in a baking dish. Pour the cream mixture over the top.
  7. Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly across the surface.
Cooking
  1. Bake the casserole in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes.
  2. Look for a golden brown, puffed up, and set top. Poke with a knife; if it comes out clean, it's done.
  3. Let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
  4. Optionally, broil for 1-2 minutes for extra bubbly cheese, watching closely.
Serving
  1. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
