Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • 2 cans of tomatoes each can 14.1oz or 400grams, no added sugar
  • 2 small zucchini about 2 cups chopped
  • 2 bell peppers about 2 cups chopped
  • 1 small red onion or 1/2 medium onion
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1/2 tsp salt more to taste
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup cheddar cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  • Chop the zucchini, peppers, and onion.
  • Shred the cheddar cheese and crumble the feta cheese.
  • To a large skillet or pan, over medium-high heat, add 2 tbsp of olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the peppers and zucchini. Cook them for about 7-8 minutes over medium-high heat until they get a bit of color on the outside. Stir occasionally.
  • Add the onion, salt, pepper, sugar, and minced garlic, and cook for another minute.
  • Add the tomatoes and 1/4 cup water. Mix everything and simmer for about 10 minutes until the veggies have softened.
  • Make wells for the eggs with the back of the spoon. Crack the eggs in the wells made with the back of the spoon.
  • Add the feta cheese and cheddar cheese (or other cheeses you’re using; see notes).
  • Place the lid on and simmer it until the eggs are your desired consistency.
    You can also finish it in the oven (if you're using an oven-safe skillet) if you’d prefer at 400°F(200°C) for about 6-7 minutes.
  • Add fresh parsley or other fresh herbs (see notes) to garnish it.

Notes

Tomatoes – Any high-quality canned tomatoes will work here. I generally use canned peeled whole plum tomatoes that I crush with the back of the spoon or spatula.
Cheese – If you don’t have feta and/or cheddar, worry not! You can use a lot of different cheeses for this recipe. It works with mozzarella, parmesan, goat cheese, and many others!
Parsley – If you don’t have fresh parsley, you could also use chives, cilantro, basil, or oregano.
