Ingredients

  • 12 large eggs
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons freshly chopped dill
  • 2 tablespoons freshly chopped basil
  • 1 cup cooked and shredded chicken
  • 3 tablespoons salted butter
  • ½ small red onion finely diced
  • 3 cups spinach
  • 1 cup shredded gruyere cheese
  • ½ cup crumbled feta
  • Green onion to garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, dill, basil, and chicken. Whisk until completely combined.
  • Heat a 12 inch cast iron skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, add the red onion and saute for about 3-4 minutes or until translucent. Add the spinach and cook until wilted.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and evenly sprinkle the gruyere and feta over the top. Let cook over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until the eggs are set.
  • Let cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with green onion if desired!

Notes

  • Make sure to use a 12 inch cast iron or other oven safe skillet. If you use a smaller or bigger size, you'll need to adjust ingredient amounts and bake time accordingly.
