  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. 
  2. Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the peppers and onions; cook, stirring often, until just softened, 4 minutes.

Transfer mixture to the glass baking dish, spreading it out evenly to cover the bottom.
  3. Whisk the milk, eggs, salt and black pepper together in a medium bowl. Stir in 1/2 cup cheese. Pour egg mixture over the top and cover with remaining 1/2 cup cheese.
  4. Bake until edges are set and top is golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool in the baking dish on a wire rack for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with pico de gallo.
