    Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Season vegetables with salt and pepper.

  7. 7

    Distribute vegetables evenly in the pan and add half of the mozzarella cheese.

  8. 8

    Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables, gently shaking the pan to distribute evenly.

  9. 9

    Sprinkle remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top, along with fresh herbs.

    Cook on stovetop for 2-3 minutes until edges begin to set.

  11. 11

    Transfer skillet to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until center is set and top is golden.
