    Method

    1. Preheat convection oven to 350 degrees. If using a regular oven, preheat to 375 degrees. Oil a 2” ½ hotel pan or a 9x13 casserole or baking dish with ½ the olive oil.
    2. Combine the eggs, cream, 1 ½ cups of the cheese, sundried tomatoes, basil, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Gently fold in the beans.
    3. Heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium high. Add the onions and peppers and sauté for 2- 3 minutes. Add to the bowl with the egg mixture and fold to combine.
    4. Pour mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 15-20 minutes until the sides start to set and cook.
    5. Sprinkle the green onions and remaining cheese over the top and return to oven and bake 15-20 minute longer, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
    6. Remove from oven, allow to cool slightly, and cut into desired portions.
