Step 3: Add oil to skillet Add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil to an oven-proof skillet.
Step 4: Pour egg mixture Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, then add the vegetables and optional chopped meats.
Step 5: Bake Bake the mixture in a preheated 350-degree oven about 10 minutes until soft, then remove.
