Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 Tbsp olive oil (or any oil)
2 oz mushrooms, sliced
1 small red bell pepper, ribs and seeds discarded, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 small onion, finely chopped, or minced green onion
1 clove garlic, minced
3 large eggs
1/4 c half-and-half or cream
4 oz cream cheese, cubed
1/2 c cheddar cheese, shredded
2 slice white sandwich bread, cut in 1/2-inch cubes (1 cup)
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

1. Pre-heat oven to 350º.
2. Heat oil in a small (8-inch) ovenproof, non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook mushrooms, bell pepper, onion and garlic until almost tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer mixture to a medium bowl, and let cool slightly.
3. To mixture in bowl, add eggs, half-and-half or cream, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, bread and salt and pepper to taste. (There may be a few chunks of cream cheese remaining; that is okay).
4. Pour mixture into the skillet; bake until set, about 30 minutes. If you like, heat broiler and broil until top is golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Let stand for a few minutes before cutting into wedges and serving.
