Servings: persons

2 Tablespoons Butter
1/2 whole Green Pepper, Diced
1/2 cups Red Pepper, Diced
1/3 whole Red Onion, Diced
2 teaspoons Smoked Paprika
2 teaspoons Aleppo Chili Powder
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/8 teaspoons Salt
1/8 teaspoons Pepper
2 cups Fresh Spinach
1 Tablespoon Grape Seed Oil
8 whole Eggs, Beaten
1/2 cups Skim Milk
1 cup Mexican Shredded Cheese
2 slices Green Bell Pepper (sliced Across In A Ring, For Garnish)
2 slices Red Bell Pepper (sliced Across In A Ring, For Garnish)

1
Preheat oven to 325 F.
2
Melt the butter in a 10-inch cast iron skillet on medium heat. Add the diced onions and cook until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes (add the diced peppers 2 minutes into the cooking of the onions). Add all the spices and mix in. Add the spinach and cook until it wilts, 2 - 3 minutes. Add the oil to the pan and let heat for a minute.
3
Beat eggs and milk in a bowl until fully combined. Pour the eggs into the skillet. Let the eggs begin to stiffen, about 3 minutes. Pull the firm eggs to the center of the pan and let the liquid eggs cook some more. Add 3/4 or so of the cup of cheese and mix through. Let it cook for a couple of minutes.
4
Move to a 325 F oven. After 5 minutes of cooking, top with the remaining cheese and the pepper rings. Finish cooking in the oven for another 8 - 10 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
