Method
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Dice zucchini2, tomatoes3, and bell4 pepper into ½-inch cubes; finely chop onion5; grate cheese.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, add onion5 and zucchini2, and sauté for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add bell4 pepper and tomatoes3, season with salt, and cook another 4 minutes until vegetables soften.
Transfer vegetables to a 20×25 cm (8×10 in) baking dish and spread in an even layer.
Make two small wells in the vegetables, crack eggs1 into them, and sprinkle everything with cheese.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 12 minutes, until egg whites set but yolks stay runny and cheese melts.
Let rest for 2–3 minutes, then serve with whole8-grain bread.
Tips
- Why it works
- Sauté the vegetables first to soften them and remove excess moisture, so the eggs don’t make the dish soggy. Overcooked veggies will turn mushy and watery.
- Substitutions
- Use 60g mushrooms instead of bell pepper for an earthier taste, or swap zucchini for 100g eggplant. It needs 5 extra minutes in the oven.
- Common mistakes
- Egg whites stay runny if the oven isn’t hot enough; check at 10 minutes. They should firm up in the last 2 minutes.
- Storing and reheating
- Eat fresh or within 1 day; reheat in a skillet over low heat for 2 minutes to avoid rubbery yolks. Freezing ruins the texture.
- Serve with
- Pair with a simple green salad and a glass of white wine for a light but satisfying weeknight dinner.
In short
- Marked healthy: the planner picks it more often for the goals “lose weight” and “eat well”.
