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
oil for frying
Directions:
Prepare potatoes:
Heat oil in a frying pan and fry the potato slices until golden and tender. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Serve:
Let cool for a few minutes, then serve hot.
- With a Fresh Salad: Serve alongside a crisp green salad with a light vinaigrette to contrast the creamy, rich texture of the bake.
- Grilled Protein: Pair the bake with grilled chicken, tofu, or fish for a complete and protein-packed meal.
- Garlic Bread: Add some crispy garlic bread or warm crusty rolls on the side for extra comfort and to soak up any leftover sauce.

- Light Soup: Pair it with a light vegetable or tomato soup as a starter for a more filling meal.
