Mishmash: Bulgarian Egg Dish

Mish-mash is a quick, simple vegetarian dish. It’s very traditional in Bulgaria and whenever I make it, I get flashback of my mom whipping this up for me as a child. It is easy to make with just a few ingredients, such as roasted peppers, tomatoes, cheese and eggs. Mish-mash can be served either as a main or a side dish.

Mishmash: Bulgarian Egg Dish

Serves 2

INGREDIENTS 

• 4 sweet Italian peppers, I like to use 2 green and 2 red
• 1/2 red onion, chopped
• 1 tomato, grated
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup Bulgarian feta cheese, crumbled
• 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• handful of parsley, chopped
• sea salt & pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

• STEP 1. This is optional but I prefer to roast the peppers in the oven, you don’t have to but it definitely tastes better! Peel peppers (if roasted) and slice in small pieces.
• STEP 2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and add the onions and peppers. Sauté for 3-4 minutes. If you use raw peppers, double the time.
• STEP 3. Add grated tomato to the skillet and cook for another minute.
• STEP 4. In a mixing bowl, combine eggs and feta cheese. Scramble and pour the mixture in the skillet. Stir continuously until cooked, about 3 minutes.
• STEP 5. Garnish with chopped parsley and red crushed pepper.
