Instructions
1. Preheat & Prepare
Preheat oven to 190°C / 375°F.
Lightly grease a baking dish (8×8 or similar) with olive oil.
2. Mix the Creamy Egg Base
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and Greek yogurt (or cream cheese) until smooth and creamy.
Stir in garlic, oregano, basil, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Assemble the Bake
Spread cooked chicken evenly in the baking dish.
Top with red onion, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, feta, and mozzarella.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over everything.
Drizzle lightly with olive oil.
4. Bake
Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil for the last 10 minutes.
5. Rest & Serve
Let rest 5–10 minutes before slicing.
