Ingredients
- 6 large eggs, *
- 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F. Whisk eggs, heavy cream and salt until you get a smooth and even texture. Set aside.
- Melt butter and coat the sides of the cast-iron skillet or baking dish with it. Spread vegetables and greens evenly on the bottom of the pan.
- Pour over the egg mixture. Sprinkle the cheese on top. Using a fork, distribute the cheese around a little to incorporate it into the eggs.
