Mish mash is a Bulgarian skillet of peppers, tomatoes, eggs and salty white cheese. The vegetables should be concentrated rather than watery so the eggs stay tender and the cheese remains distinct.

Technique notes

Why this approach works

Roasted peppers contribute smoky sweetness without excess water.
Cooking tomato until jammy keeps the eggs from becoming soupy.
Low heat gives the eggs soft curds around the crumbled cheese.
