Ingredients

  • 8 eggs
  • 2 small zucchini about 3 cups chopped
  • 2 bell peppers about 2 cups chopped
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream or plain yogurt
  • 2 oz 60 grams soft goat cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan don’t buy pre-grated; grate it at home
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley optional

Instructions

  • Dice the peppers and zucchini.
  • Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and add the heavy cream (or plain yogurt).
  • In a 10-inch cast iron pan (or ovenproof pan), heat the 2 tbsp of oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add the diced peppers and fry for about 5 minutes until slightly charred/browned on the outside. Stir occasionally.
  • Add the zucchini, remaining salt, and pepper and fry medium-high for another 4-5 minutes.
  • Turn the heat down to medium, and cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the veggies are fully cooked. Cover them with a lid if you want to speed up the process.
  • Add 1 tbsp of butter and stir it into the veggies until melted (about 30 seconds).
  • Add the beaten eggs.
  • Add the goat’s cheese, the parmesan, and (optionally) chopped parsley.
  • Bake in the preheated oven at 390°F (200°C) until cooked through, golden, and puffed up, about 15-18 minutes.
