ReceptnaptárMish-mash (Bulgarian pepper, tomato, egg and cheese scramble)
Miš-maš is a skillet dish of the Bulgarian summer whose name means a mixture: roasted peppers, tomato, onion, white cheese and egg in one pan. It is where lecsó meets scrambled eggs, and it is mopped up with fresh bread. It is ready in half an hour and makes an excellent vegetarian dinner, especially when it is the season for real sweet pointed peppers.

Tips
- If you have time, roast and peel the peppers beforehand, because the smoky flavour gives the dish its true character.
- Cook the tomato until most of its liquid has evaporated, because only then will the egg turn creamy and not watery.
- Salt only with care, because the white cheese adds a lot of salt to the dish.
Frequently asked questions
Which cheese is best?
Bulgarian sirene is the original, but a good-quality feta works too. What matters is that it is crumbly and salty.
What should I serve it with?
With fresh bread, yogurt and a little hot pepper. It suits a light breakfast or dinner equally well.
