• 2 cloves garlic, minced

How To Make It

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant and translucent.

4. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, dried thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.
5. Spread the chopped spinach evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish.
6. Pour the sautéed mushrooms, onions, and garlic over the spinach, distributing them evenly.
7. Slowly pour the egg mixture over the vegetables, ensuring that it is evenly distributed.
8. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the egg mixture, creating a layer of melty goodness.
9. Bake the egg bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
10. Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
