Ingredients:

• 6 large eggs
• 1 cup ground beef
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 medium zucchini, diced
• 1 medium carrot, grated
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: fresh herbs (like parsley or chives) for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Stir in the broccoli, zucchini, and grated carrot, cooking for another 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
5. In a bowl, whisk the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Pour the eggs over the beef and vegetable mixture in the skillet, gently stirring to combine.
6. Cook on the stovetop for 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set, then transfer the skillet to the oven.
7. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the eggs are fully set and lightly golden on top.
8. Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Slice and serve warm.
