It's been a busy week running back and forth to the fair, helping neighbors move, and finishing up swimming lessons. The crockpot came in handy yesterday, but I was coming up short for a quick meal tonight. Thankfully, this recipe from $5 Dinners was in my inbox this week and I remembered it was a quick meal to throw together from leftovers. We had deli ham, a block of monterrey jack cheese, dried parsley and frozen red peppers from the garden, and plenty of eggs on hand as always. This never has to be the same twice. And Micah definitely gave it a thumbs up!

Start with these 5 ingredients:
•6 eggs
•½ cup milk
•2 Tbsp flour
•1/4 tsp salt
•¼ tsp pepper
Add: ¾ cup shredded cheese of your choice. It could be Swiss, cheddar, Parmesan, Asiago, pepper jack.
Add: 1 Tbsp chopped fresh herbs, like parsley, rosemary, basil, thyme or 1 tsp dried herbs, like parsley, rosemary, an Italian or fiesta mix. Choose one or mix a few together.
Add: 1 cup cooked meat, diced. This is a great way to use up leftovers, such as diced ham, chicken, or sausage. If you don’t have any meat on hand, you can replace this amount with additional vegetables.
Add: 1 to 1 1/2 cups of fresh vegetables, diced. Sweet peppers, asparagus, squash, tomatoes, green onions, peas, shredded zucchini are a few examples. Choose one or mix a few together.
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Coat a 10 inch pie pan with non-stick cooking spray.
3. Whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, salt, pepper until smooth. Stir in the cheese, herbs, meat, and the vegetables until combined.
4. Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the eggs are set in the middle or golden on top. Remove from oven and let sit for about 5 minutes before serving.
