Instructions
- Warm your oven to a precise 350F, creating the perfect environment for a hearty breakfast casserole.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil into a large skillet, heating it over medium flame until shimmering.

- Crack 6 large eggs into a spacious mixing bowl, combining them with 1 cup milk and whisking until smooth and fully integrated.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon each of garlic and onion powder into the egg mixture, seasoning with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor profile.
- Fold the wilted spinach, 1 cup diced tomatoes, and 1 cup shredded cheese into the egg base, ensuring even distribution of ingredients.
- Transfer the entire mixture to a well-greased baking dish, spreading it evenly to guarantee consistent cooking.

Notes
- Swap out regular milk for almond or oat milk to make this casserole dairy-free and lighter.
- Chop spinach finely to distribute flavor evenly and ensure each bite has a perfect green texture.
- For extra protein, add crumbled bacon or diced ham directly into the egg mixture before baking.
- Prep this casserole the night before and refrigerate, which allows flavors to blend and saves morning cooking time.
