Bulgarian omelet mish-mash is the quintessence of Bulgarian home cooking, filled with the warmth and comfort of Mediterranean flavors. Its name reflects the essence of the dish—a bright, appetizing mix of fresh vegetables, eggs, and tender feta cheese. The light aroma of garlic and sweetness of tomatoes give this omelet a rich taste, while herbs make it even more expressive. The dish cooks quickly, and the combination of ingredients allows for experimentation: zucchini or potatoes can be added for heartiness. Mish-mash is perfect for breakfast or a light dinner and can be served with crispy bread or warm flatbread. It’s a simple yet elegant way to immerse oneself in Bulgaria's culinary tradition where each dish carries a story and heartfelt warmth.

We sauté the onion in olive oil. I also add a bit of butter, as I find it tastier. The onion should cook on low heat to be soft and sweet, just like everything else you will add later.
- Olive oil: 3 tablespoons
- Onion: 1 piece

Later we add sweet pepper, wait for everything to cook, then the tomatoes. Cut small or large as you like. When the juice turns orange, we add minced garlic. Salt can be added.
- Sweet pepper: 1 piece
- Tomatoes: 2 pieces
- Garlic: 2 cloves
- Salt: to taste

While this sits for a minute or two, mix the eggs with feta and ground pepper. If the cheese isn't salty enough, add some salt! Pour this mixture into the fragrant vegetables. And stir!
- Chicken egg: 4 pieces
- Feta cheese: 200 g
- Ground black pepper: to taste

Once the eggs are ready, sprinkle a lot of greens on top! Since the name of this dish generally means 'mix', add whatever you love and mix it as you like! You can add zucchini or potatoes for extra heartiness.
