Directions
1. | Preheat a non stick skillet over medium high heat and spray with cooking spray. Add onions and garlic and cook until onion is translucent and soft. Remove to a large bowl and set aside. |
2. | Add mushrooms to pan and cook until browned and liquid has evaporated. Add mushrooms to bowl with onion and let cool. |
3. | In a separate large bowl, whisk together eggs, egg whites, milk, and dijon mustard until combined. Add onion mixture, broccoli, sun dried tomatoes, thyme, mozzarella, and parmesan cheese and mix until combined. |
4. | Spray a 9 x 13 pyrex with cooking spray and evenly distribute bread cubes along the bottom. Pour egg mixture over top and make sure bread cubes are all covered with this mixture. Cover pan with plastic wrap and place in fridge for at least 8 hours, or overnight. |
