Step-by-Step Beginner-Friendly Instructions

Preheat your oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking later. 🔥
Whisk the eggs: In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Sauté the vegetables: In a large skillet, sauté the diced onions and bell peppers over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes, until they start to soften.
Add tomatoes: Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook for an additional 2 minutes. 🍅
Combine all ingredients: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables, and gently mix in the shredded mozzarella cheese and crumbled beef bacon.
Cook the eggs: Cook on medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the edges begin to set.
Transfer to the oven: Once the edges are set, transfer the whole skillet to the preheated oven, and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the center is fully set and the cheese is bubbly. 🧀
