DIRECTIONS

*Pre-heat oven to 400º (broil).
In medium skillet add olive oil, pesto, and garlic. Sauté on medium heat until fragrant (1-2 minutes).
Add onions and peppers and continue to sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Next add asparagus or broccoli (potatoes should be cooked ahead of time if you want to use those).
After 2-3 minutes, add the zucchini and mushrooms.
When vegetables are nearly cooked, add the spinach and cook until dark green.
Make sure the veggies are pretty much evenly distributed and flat, then pour in the egg beaters.
Cook on stove top for about 3 minutes and then transfer to oven to cook the top portion of the egg.
When the top begins to puff in the middle, bring back to stove top.
Add cheese, then place under broiler for additional 2 minutes (until cheese is melted and bubbly).
Cut into wedges and serve (this re-heats well in the microwave for leftovers).
*NOTE - all measurements are approximate and can be changed to your preferences.
