Total Time: 60 minutes
Number of Servings: 2

Necessary Ingredients

To prepare this recipe, you will need the following ingredients, divided into two servings:

- 1 large ripe tomato
- 1 handful of green peas
- 1 red bell pepper
- 10 small champignon mushrooms (keep 4 whole for decoration)
- 1 leek
- 100 g bacon, cut into small strips and fried
- 4 fresh eggs
- 100 g feta cheese, crumbled
- 100 g cheese, grated or shredded
- Sea salt, to taste
- 2 tablespoons of butter

Preparing the Ingredients

1. Wash and chop the vegetables: Start by washing the tomato, bell pepper, and leek well. Dice the tomato, slice the bell pepper, and cut the leek into thin rounds. The mushrooms can be left whole for an attractive look.

2. Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 250 degrees Celsius to prepare it for baking.

Cooking the Vegetables

3. Preparing the vegetables: Divide the chopped vegetables into two ceramic bowls with lids. Add 2 whole mushrooms to each bowl for a pleasing visual effect. Add the diced butter and sprinkle sea salt to enhance the flavors.

4. Initial baking: Place the bowls in the preheated oven and let them bake for about 20 minutes. This step will allow the vegetables to become tender and release their flavors.

Completing the Dish

5. Adding additional ingredients: Carefully remove the bowls from the oven. Add the fried bacon, crumbled feta, and whole mushrooms. Finally, crack 2 eggs into each bowl, being careful not to break the yolks.

6. Finishing: Grate cheese on top of the eggs and vegetables, covering everything evenly. This layer of cheese will melt and create a delicious crust.

7. Final baking: Return the bowls to the oven and let them bake for another 10 minutes, or until the eggs are well cooked and the cheese is golden and bubbling.

Serving the Dish

Place the bowls on a tray and serve the dish warm, straight from the oven. You can garnish it with a few fresh parsley or basil leaves for an extra touch of color and flavor. This recipe pairs perfectly with a slice of toasted bread to savor every bite.

Variations and Practical Tips

- Alternative vegetables: This recipe is extremely versatile. You can substitute the vegetables with cauliflower or broccoli, but make sure to leave them in the oven longer to soften well.
- Optional additions: Add some olives or chili peppers for a more intense flavor. You can also use other types of cheese, such as feta or mozzarella, to experiment with different flavors.

Nutritional Benefits

This recipe is not only tasty but also healthy. The vegetables used are rich in vitamins and minerals, while the eggs provide essential proteins. The cheese adds calcium and healthy fats.
