Ingredients
- 1 zucchini, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 4 large eggs
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare all vegetables by washing thoroughly and dicing zucchini and bell pepper into uniform small cubes. Halve the cherry tomatoes and set aside.
- Heat a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat and drizzle with olive oil, ensuring the entire surface is lightly coated.
- Add diced zucchini and bell pepper to the skillet, sautéing for 5-6 minutes until vegetables begin to soften and develop light golden edges.
- Incorporate halved cherry tomatoes into the skillet, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until they start to release their juices.
- Season the vegetable mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper, stirring gently to distribute seasonings evenly.
- Create four small wells in the vegetable mixture using the back of a spoon, spacing them equally around the skillet.
- Carefully crack one egg into each well, ensuring the yolks remain intact.
- Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until egg whites are set and yolks reach desired consistency.
- Remove from heat and let the skillet rest for 1-2 minutes before serving directly from the pan.
- Optionally garnish with fresh herbs like chopped parsley or chives for added flavor and visual appeal.
Tips
- Vegetable Prep is Key: Cut your zucchini and bell peppers into uniform small cubes to ensure even cooking and a beautiful presentation.
- Temperature Control: Use medium heat to avoid burning your vegetables and to achieve those perfect light golden edges.
- Egg Perfection: Create small wells in your vegetable mixture to help eggs cook evenly and maintain beautiful, intact yolks.
- Fresh is Best: Use the freshest summer vegetables you can find for maximum flavor and nutrition.
- Customize Your Skillet: Feel free to add other summer vegetables like corn or add a sprinkle of feta cheese for extra flavor.
- Herb Garnish: Fresh herbs like parsley or chives can elevate the dish's flavor and visual appeal.
- Serve Immediately: This dish is best enjoyed hot straight from the skillet for the ultimate taste and texture experience.
