6.In a bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs and shredded mozzarella cheese.
7.Once the vegetables are cooked, spread the mixture over the crust. Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the vegetables. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the top.
8.Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and set. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
