Bulgarian mish-mash

The very word "mish-mash" in Bulgarian means "chaos", which, in general, is not far from the truth: it is the appetizing chaos of bright vegetables, brackish cheese and eggs that you have to cook.

You will need:

• 3-4 eggs;
• 100 g feta cheese;
• 1 bell pepper;
• 1 tomato;
• 1 onion;
• a few feathers of green onions, sprigs of parsley or dill;
• ground black pepper;
• vegetable oil for frying;
• salt.

Cooking.

1. Peel, chop finely, and then fry the onion in 1–2 tbsp. l. butter until golden brown.

   

   Saute the onions for 2-3 minutes

2. Free the tomato from the cutting, and the pepper also from the seeds and cut into small pieces.

   

   Transfer vegetables to a bowl right away to avoid wasting juice

3. Chop all the greens.

   

   Do not skimp on greens, with it the omelet turns out to be more juicy and tasty

4. Crumble the cheese into small pieces.

   

   Cheese doesn't need to be broken by hand or chopped with a fork

5. Combine all the omelet ingredients in a bowl, stir and pour into the skillet over the onion.

   

   Someone puts the components of the omelet into the pan in turn, and someone mixes them in advance

6. Cook the omelet to your favorite consistency. On average, 4–5 minutes.

   

   Delicious "chaos" is ready

Italian frittata

Although you can choose any cheese for frittata, connoisseurs advise giving preference to mozzarella. And also try to get high quality olive oil: this combination of products will give your dish a truly Italian flavor.

You will need:

• 3-4 eggs;
• 2-3 tbsp. l. milk;
• 30 g of cheese;
• 100 g smoked sausage;
• 1 tomato;
• 1 bell pepper;
• 1 onion, classic purple;
• 1 clove of garlic;
• greens to taste;
• ground black pepper;
• olive oil;
• salt.

Cooking.

1. Peel the onion and garlic and chop.

   

   Fragrant seasonings will come in handy

2. Remove the stalks and seeds from the pepper and cut into circles.

   

   Thin slices

3. Free the tomato from the skin, after pouring boiling water over it, and cut arbitrarily.

   

   Cut the scalded fruit crosswise and peel it easily

4. Cut the sausage as you like.

   

   Instead of smoked sausage, you can take boiled ham, ham or brisket

5. Cheese - depending on the variety chosen - grate, finely chop or crumble.

   

   Chopping mozzarella costs nothing

6. In a well-heated frying pan with a couple of tablespoons of oil, put first the onion and garlic, after 2-3 minutes - the sausage, after another 2 minutes - the pepper.

   

   Start with garlic and onions, they will make the frittata taste richer

7. Whisk eggs with milk, cheese, pepper and salt.

   

   Whisk the mixture just before pouring it into the pan to prevent the cheese settling to the bottom.

8. Pour the whipped egg mixture over everything.

   

   Cover the skillet with a lid and set on a low heat

9. Place the tomato slices on the half-baked omelet and cook, covered, for 5 minutes. Serve with fresh herbs.

If you prefer to have a hearty breakfast so as not to feel a hungry rumbling in your stomach until lunchtime, the tortilla with potatoes, born in sunny Spain, will come in handy.

• 2-3 eggs;
• 1 medium potato;
• 1 medium-sized carrot;
• 100 g green beans;
• 0.5 bell pepper;
• 0.5 onions;
• greens;
• olive oil;
• salt.

Cooking.

3. Place vegetables in a skillet with 1-2 tablespoons of oil and brown for 3-5 minutes.

   

   You can change the set of vegetables as you wish - for example, add grated young zucchini, broccoli or something else

4. While the onions, potatoes and carrots are in condition, chop the herbs.

   

   Greens are necessary - without it, the omelette will not have enough brightness or vitamins

   The tortilla takes a little longer to cook than a regular omelet

6. Fry the tortilla on one side for 5-6 minutes, then pry with a spatula, turn over and hold in a pan for another 3-4 minutes.

   

   A more filling breakfast is hard to find

French omelet with cheese

Do you want something light but sophisticated? Seek help from France, which has always been adept at serving the simplest dishes elegantly.

You will need:

• 2-3 eggs;
• 1–2 tsp milk;
• 2-3 tbsp. l. grated cheese;
• greens;
• black pepper;
• salt.

Cooking.

1. Beat eggs with milk, salt and pepper.

   

   No mixer needed, you can do just fine with a fork

2. Melt the butter in a skillet and pour the egg mixture over it.

   

   Pour the egg mixture onto hot oil.

3. Cook the omelet, stirring constantly with a wooden spatula and rocking the pan from side to side. Your task is to make sure that the raw part of the omelet constantly flows under the already set and thickens evenly with lush flakes.

   

   The omelet will turn out fluffy and airy

4. Once the eggs have thickened, sprinkle them with grated cheese, lift one end of the omelet with a spatula and wrap it towards the center of the pan, and then pry the edge on the opposite side and wrap it in, too, folding the envelope.

   

   Seal the cheese inside the omelet

5. Serve with fresh herbs.

   

   In French dishes, one of the main conditions is a beautiful presentation.

Swiss scramble

Since we're talking about an interesting presentation, how not to remember the favorite in America and some European countries scramble? You can cook it with ham, cheese, and vegetables, but today we will focus on the simplest version - the "base of the basics" of scramble.

You will need:

• 3 eggs;
• 30 g butter;
• 40 ml cream;
• any greens;
• nutmeg, black pepper;
• salt;
• 2 fresh toasted toast.

Cooking.

1. Chop or tear the greens by hand.

   

   Greens can be anything from dill to basil

2. Melt butter in a skillet.

   

   Shaking the pan, spread the oil over its surface

3. Beat eggs with cream, nutmeg, pepper and salt.

   

   Cream can be replaced with milk, but the taste of the omelet will not be the same

4. Pour the eggs into the skillet and stir continuously. As soon as some part of the future omelet begins to thicken, you should lift it with a spatula and turn it over, so that as a result, a loose, heterogeneous and fluffy mass will appear in the pan.

   

   Professionals advise using a spatula to describe the figure of eight to cover the entire surface of the pan

5. When the eggs have thickened but still tender and juicy, remove the omelet from the pan, transfer to plates, and serve with toast and herbs.

   

   Add greens, a couple of toasts and the dish is ready
