Cooking Directions
Prepare the Egg Mixture
Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl. Add salt, black pepper, and milk. Whisk together until well combined and smooth. Gradually add the flour, stirring until you have a lump-free batter. Toss in finely chopped parsley and dill, and mix well. This forms the flavorful base for your vegetable mixture.
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel and grate the potatoes. Place the grated potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them sit for 10 minutes — this step removes excess starch and helps keep the bake from becoming too dense. Drain well and squeeze out as much water as possible using a clean towel or your hands.
Cook the Vegetables
In a skillet, heat a bit of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until it begins to soften. Add the grated carrot and red bell pepper, stirring occasionally, and cook for another 5–7 minutes until tender. Drain any excess liquid and let the mixture cool slightly before adding it to the egg mixture.
Combine Everything
Add the drained grated potatoes to the egg and vegetable mixture. Season again with salt and pepper, and stir until everything is evenly coated in the batter. The consistency should be thick but spoonable — not runny.
Prepare the Bake
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a baking dish with vegetable oil. Pour the potato mixture into the dish and spread it evenly with a spatula. Arrange the tomato slices neatly on top. Bake for 20 minutes.
Sauté the Mushrooms
While the bake is in the oven, melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushrooms and cook for 5–7 minutes until soft and lightly browned. Set aside.
Add the Mushrooms and Cheese
After the first 20 minutes of baking, remove the dish from the oven and evenly spread the sautéed mushrooms over the top. Sprinkle generously with grated cheese. Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
Prepare the Yogurt-Parsley Sauce
In a small bowl, mix the plain yogurt with finely chopped parsley. Stir until smooth. This creamy, tangy sauce will add a refreshing contrast to the warm, savory bake.
Serve and Enjoy
Allow the vegetable bake to cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with a dollop of the yogurt-parsley sauce on top or on the side.
