Method

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Dice zucchini2, tomatoes3, and bell4 pepper into ½-inch cubes; finely chop onion5; grate cheese.

  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, add onion5 and zucchini2, and sauté for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. Add bell4 pepper and tomatoes3, season with salt, and cook another 4 minutes until vegetables soften.

  4. Transfer vegetables to a 20×25 cm (8×10 in) baking dish and spread in an even layer.

  5. Make two small wells in the vegetables, crack eggs1 into them, and sprinkle everything with cheese.

  6. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 12 minutes, until egg whites set but yolks stay runny and cheese melts.

  7. 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.
