Grease a 9x11 inch toaster oven pan with baking spray.

Place parchment paper in the pan and spray it with baking spray to keep it in place.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together 9 large BC eggs, 3 tablespoons of milk, 1.5 teaspoons of salt, and 0.75 teaspoon of black pepper until fully combined.

Preheat the toaster oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pan.

(Optional) Add up to 0.5 cup of chopped thinly sliced bell pepper, mushrooms, or onion to the egg mixture before baking.

Top the egg mixture with 0.5 cup of grated cheddar cheese and sprinkle with smoked paprika for flavor and appearance.

Place the pan in the preheated toaster oven and set a timer for 12 to 15 minutes, checking for the eggs to be completely set and not jiggly, or reaching an internal temperature of at least 160 degrees Fahrenheit.

Once cooked, remove the pan from the oven and cut the eggs into six portions by cutting in half lengthwise and then making two more cuts.

Use a spatula to carefully lift the portions out of the pan, ensuring they release easily due to the baking spray and parchment paper.
