Equipment

1 Cutting board
1 Chef's Knife
1 Large Skillet or Frying Pan
1 Spatula or Wooden Spoon
2 Mixing bowl
1 Whisk or fork
3-4 Measuring spoons
1 Cheese Grater Optional
1 Lid for the Skillet Optional

Ingredients

3 Eggs
2 Ripe tomatoes, chopped Chopped
1 Bell Pepper Chopped
1 Onion finely chopped
7 oz Bulgarian white cheese or feta
2 tbsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper
Fresh parsley or dill for garnish

Instructions

Preparation of Vegetables
Heat the olive oil on medium heat.
Add the chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent and slightly golden.
Stir in the chopped bell pepper and continue to sauté until it softens.
Add the chopped tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the tomatoes break down and form a chunky sauce.
Adding the Eggs
Whisk the eggs in a bowl and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Beat the eggs in a bowl, season with salt and pepper, then pour the scramble over the veggies in the sauté pan. Let the eggs sit for a moment, then gently stir and fold to mix everything together. Cook the eggs until set but still moist.
Final Touches
Add the crumbled cheese over the top of the cooked mixture. Cover the skillet for 1 minute, just to let the cheese slightly melt. Garnish with fresh parsley or dill if using.

Notes

Serve the mish-mash hot, and enjoy it with slices of crusty bread to mop up the delightful mixture.

Tips and Tricks

Choose ripe but firm tomatoes for the best flavor and to prevent the dish from becoming too watery.
May be prepared in advance and reheated, but as it has a much better flavor fresh.
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use within 2 days.

Variations of Mish-Mash

Regional variations of Mish-Mash might include the addition of roasted red peppers or sautéed mushrooms.
Feel free to experiment with different vegetables such as zucchini or spinach for a personal twist. Trying different cheeses also helps; soft goat cheese or shredded mozzarella comes highly recommended.
