Number Of Ingredients 11

2 teaspoons olive oil
2 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1 small red bell pepper, ribs and seeds discarded, chopped into 1-inch pieces
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
1 small garlic clove, minced
3 large eggs
1/4 cup half-and-half
4 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese (1/2 bar), cubed
2 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded (1/2 cup)
2 slices white sandwich bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (1 cup)
