Mish-mash is the Bulgarian scramble of eggs, bell peppers, tomatoes and white cheese, all cooked in one pan. It's ready in 15 minutes and gives you 41 g of protein per plate, with 2 servings of MEALUP Cheddar over the finished dish. This is the breakfast every grandma in Bulgaria makes from memory, with whatever she finds in the fridge.

The beauty of mish-mash is that it forgives everything: fewer peppers, more tomatoes, onion or no onion. The base stays the same: the eggs cook together with the vegetables in one pan, and you eat straight from it.

MEALUP Cheddar goes on last, over the finished mish-mash. That way its cheddar flavor comes through on the warm eggs and doesn't get lost among the seasonings during cooking.

The recipe

Preparation

Chop the vegetablesFinely chop the onion, slice the peppers into strips and dice the tomatoes.
Fry the onion and peppersHeat the oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and peppers and fry for 5 minutes, until soft.
Add the tomatoesAdd the tomatoes and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until they release their juices and soften.
Crack in the eggsCrack the eggs straight over the vegetables in the pan, season with salt and stir gently.
Finish on the stoveCook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring now and then, until the eggs are set the way you like them.
Sprinkle and serveTake the pan off the heat, crumble the white cheese over the top and sprinkle with 2 servings (60 g) of MEALUP Cheddar. Stir gently and serve right away.

Tips

Want a creamier mish-mash? Take the pan off the heat just before the eggs are fully set: they finish cooking in their own heat.
Add cucumber or bread on the side for a more complete meal.
Out of tomatoes? Use 1 tbsp of tomato paste thinned with a little water.

MEALUP Cheddar goes on last, over the finished mish-mash, just before you serve it. That way you really taste the cheddar on the warm eggs.
