Veggie Cheese Squares

1-1/2 cups fresh broccoli florets
1 medium sweet red pepper, julienned
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt

In a large skillet, saute the broccoli, red pepper and garlic in oil. Spoon into a greased 9-in. square baking dish. In a another large bowl, combine the eggs, milk, 3/4 cup cheese, thyme and salt.

Pour over the broccoli mixture. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 25-30 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake 5 minutes longer or until the cheese is melted. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting.
