  • 1 sprig fresh oregano, chopped
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat oven to 375F. Heat oven proof skillet. Add mushrooms, cook 3-5 minutes over medium heat. Add oil (try to get some on the side of the pan so the eggs don’t stick), onion, garlic, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and cayenne; cook 2-3 minutes. Add tomato, cook 2 minutes.
  2. Lower heat to medium-low. Whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper. Add to pan. Stir once. Cook 1 minute, and stir again. Cook a few minutes more, or until eggs are starting to set.
  3. Sprinkle with cheese and place in oven for 10 to 20 minutes, or until eggs are set and cheese is melted.
  4. Let stand a few minutes before serving. Best served warm, but still yummy cold.
