Number Of Ingredients 11

2 teaspoons olive oil
2 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1 small red bell pepper, ribs and seeds discarded, chopped into 1-inch pieces
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
1 small garlic clove, minced
3 large eggs
1/4 cup half-and-half
4 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese (1/2 bar), cubed
2 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded (1/2 cup)
2 slices white sandwich bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (1 cup)
Coarse salt and ground pepper

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat oil in a small (8-inch) ovenproof nonstick 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. (Reserve skillet.)
To mixture in bowl, add eggs, half-and-half, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, bread, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; stir until combined. (There may be a few chunks of cream cheese remaining.)
Pour egg mixture into reserved skillet; bake until set, about 30 minutes. Heat broiler, and broil until top is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting into wedges and serving.
