Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a large oven-safe skillet with olive oil.
Lay half of the phyllo sheets into the prepared skillet, brushing each layer lightly with olive oil.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the mixed vegetables and sprinkle with kosher salt. Sauté for 5–7 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine whole milk, egg yolks, fennel seeds, paprika, granulated garlic, black pepper, grated garlic, and chopped parsley. Whisk until smooth.
Gently fold the sautéed vegetables into the egg mixture.
Pour the vegetable and egg mixture over the layered phyllo sheets, folding the edges of the phyllo over the filling. Layer the remaining phyllo on top, brushing with olive oil.
Bake for 50–60 minutes until the phyllo is golden brown and flaky.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Allow the Breakfast Veggie Crinkle Cake to cool slightly after baking for easier slicing. Experiment with spices or cheeses for different flavor variations.
