Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 1/2 cup diced vegetables (bell peppers, onions, etc.)
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare your Ninja Foodi by inserting the wire rack or a silicone loaf pan inside the cooking pot.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack 6 large eggs and whisk them thoroughly until the yolks and whites are completely combined.
- Add 1/4 cup of milk to the whisked eggs and continue mixing to create a smooth, uniform egg mixture.
- Finely dice your selected vegetables, ensuring they are cut into small, uniform pieces for even distribution.
- Fold the 1/2 cup of shredded cheese and diced vegetables into the egg mixture, stirring gently to incorporate evenly.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste, stirring to distribute the seasonings throughout.
- Grease the loaf pan or wire rack with cooking spray or a light brush of oil to prevent sticking.
- Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pan, ensuring it is spread evenly.
- Close the Ninja Foodi lid and set to bake at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 25 minutes.
- Check the egg loaf's doneness by inserting a toothpick or knife into the center - it should come out clean.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the egg loaf and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before slicing.
- Slice the egg loaf into portions and serve warm, garnishing with additional herbs or cheese if desired.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Always ensure your eggs are at room temperature before mixing to achieve a smoother, more consistent texture.
- Vegetable Variety: Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetable combinations. Try spinach, mushrooms, or even diced ham for added flavor.
- Cheese Selection: Use freshly shredded cheese for the best melting quality. Sharp cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend work wonderfully.
- Greasing Technique: Use a non-stick cooking spray or brush with a light layer of oil to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
- Doneness Check: The toothpick test is crucial - it should come out clean with no wet egg mixture when inserted into the center.
- Resting Time: Allow the egg loaf to rest for 2-3 minutes after cooking. This helps it set and makes slicing easier.
- Serving Suggestion: Garnish with fresh herbs like chives or parsley for an extra pop of color and flavor.
