- Add salt, pepper, and optional spices.
- Stir in cheese, vegetables, and meat.
- Pour mixture into the baking dish evenly.

💡 Tips & Variations
- For a fluffier texture, add a splash more milk or cream.
- Want it lighter? Skip meat and load up on veggies.
- For extra flavor, add chili flakes, herbs (parsley, oregano), or feta cheese.
- You can prepare it the night before and bake in the morning.
If you want, I can also give you a Pakistani-style spicy version, a low-carb keto version, or a meal-prep version for the whole week.
