Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Baking Dish

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a deep pie dish or baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

2. Cook the Vegetables

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-5 minutes until soft and translucent.
Stir in the corn kernels, zucchini slices, and mushrooms.
Cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized.

3. Season the Mixture

Sprinkle in the dried basil, oregano, and salt.
Stir well to evenly distribute the seasoning and enhance the flavors.

4. Combine with Cheese and Eggs

Transfer the cooked vegetable mixture to a large mixing bowl.
Add the shredded cheese and beaten eggs.
Stir until everything is well combined.

5. Assemble and Bake

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Smooth the top with a spatula or spoon.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.

6. Cool and Serve

Allow the bake to cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
This helps it set completely and makes it easier to serve.
Serve warm and enjoy the cheesy, flavorful goodness!
