Preheat the oven to 400°F. Whisk the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and herbs in a large bowl. Stir in the feta cheese; set aside.
Heat the oil over medium‑high heat in a 12‑inch oven‑safe skillet. When the oil is hot, add the asparagus and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Add the zucchini and tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes more.
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables, pulling the eggs away from the sides of the pan with a spatula so they flow to the bottom of the pan. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes.
When the eggs begin to set, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the top. Transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the top is golden. Cut into 6 wedges. Sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes:
Lactose Intolerant Ingredient Substitutions
Worried about friends or family who may have lactose intolerance? Not a problem. Simply substitute the milk in the recipe with lactose-free cow’s milk. (The natural cheeses in this recipe contain minimal amounts of lactose.) While you’re at it, check out this post from our friend and dietitian Kim Kirchherr for more cooking tips.
