Vegetable Mushroom Potato Bake

Ingredients:

    • 3-4 medium potatoes, sliced
    • 1 onion, finely chopped
    • 1 carrot, grated
    • 150 g mushrooms, sliced
    • 2 eggs
    • Salt, to taste
    • Black pepper, to taste
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground garlic
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    • 150 g mozzarella cheese (3.52 oz), shredded
    • 50 g Parmesan cheese, grated
    • 6-8 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Directions:

    1. Prepare potatoes: Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry the potato slices until golden and tender. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
    2. Sauté vegetables: In the same pan, add a bit more oil if necessary, and sauté the onions until translucent. Add grated carrots and mushrooms, cooking until soft. Season with salt, ground garlic, and nutmeg.
    1. Layer ingredients: In a greased baking dish, layer the fried potatoes at the bottom. Top with the sautéed vegetables, then sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the vegetables.
    2. Add eggs and cheese: In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the eggs over the vegetables. Arrange halved cherry tomatoes on top, then finish with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
    3. Bake: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake the dish for 30 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  1. Serve: Let cool for a few minutes, then serve hot.
