Ingredients:

For the potato base:

4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges

2 tbsp olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/2 tsp paprika (optional, for extra flavor)

For the egg mixture:

6 large eggs

1/4 cup milk (or cream for a richer taste)

1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)

1/4 cup diced bell peppers (any color)

1/4 cup diced onions

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh herbs for garnish (parsley or chives)

Instructions:

Prepare the potatoes:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.

Add the potato wedges to the skillet and season with salt, pepper, and paprika.

Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes start to soften and brown slightly.

Prepare the egg mixture:

While the potatoes are cooking, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

Stir in the diced bell peppers, onions, and shredded cheese.

Combine and cook:

Once the potatoes are tender, pour the egg mixture evenly over them in the skillet.

Lower the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the eggs begin to set.

Finish cooking in the oven:

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and lightly golden.

Serve:

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes.

Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives before serving.
