Preparation
Grease a 9x13 baking dish so nothing sticks.
Layer your cooked meat and veggies first, then sprinkle cheese.
Whisk eggs with milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then pour it over the layered ingredients.
Cover and refrigerate overnight, or bake right away if you are in a hurry.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) until the center is set and the top is lightly golden, about 35-40 minutes.
Notes
Best served with fresh fruit or a simple green salad. Store in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze slices for longer storage. When reheating, ensure it reaches steaming hot.
