Instructions:

  6. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables in the casserole dish.
  7. Sprinkle grated cheese over the top of the casserole.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown and set in the center.
  9. While the casserole is baking, prepare the sauce by mixing Greek yogurt (or sour cream), ketchup, and mayonnaise in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste.
