Step-By-Step Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- To a bowl, add green onion, broccoli, tomato, spinach, salt, garlic powder, oregano, pepper, and smoked paprika. Toss ingredients well to make sure greens are covered with the spices.
- Preheat an ovenproof nonstick pan over medium heat. Add vegetables from the bowl and sauté until ingredients are cooked through, about 2 minutes.
- Add milk to the bowl with whisked eggs and whisk briefly to combine. Add egg mixture to pan and stir with a wooden or plastic spoon. Make sure all ingredients are evenly spread out.
- Place pan in the middle rack of your oven and cook for 10 minutes. To check if the tortilla (egg and vegetable mixture) is done, insert a toothpick in the middle; if it comes out clean, the tortilla is cooked through.
- Remove from oven and let it rest on the stovetop for 1-2 minutes so eggs settle and don’t fall apart when serving. Enjoy!
