Baking time: 40 minutes
Total time: 60 minutes
Number of servings: 6

Ingredients:

- 1.5 kg red potatoes
- 2 bell peppers
- 1 green pepper
- 2 onions
- 2 large tomatoes
- 2 carrots
- 500 g Kaiser
- 100 g smoked cheese
- 3 eggs
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 100 g butter
- Salt, pepper, and rosemary to taste

Preparing this recipe is simple yet full of flavor. Here’s how to achieve a perfect result step by step:

1. Preparing the vegetables: Start by peeling all the vegetables. Wash them well under cold running water to remove any impurities. Then, let them drain on a kitchen towel to remove excess water. This is an important step as wet vegetables can affect the final texture of the dish.

2. Cutting the ingredients: Cut the potatoes into large cubes, the onion into julienne, the green pepper and bell peppers into thin strips (julienne), and the carrots into rounds. The Kaiser is sliced thinly, and the tomatoes are cut into rounds. Grate the cheese on a large grater, preparing to add a delicious creamy note to the dish.

3. Sautéing the onion and Kaiser: In a pan, melt 50 g of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté, stirring continuously, until golden and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. Then, add the slices of Kaiser and cover the pan for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to combine. Make sure not to cook it too much, as we want the Kaiser to remain juicy.

4. Preparing the baking dish: Take a larger baking dish and grease it with the remaining butter. Evenly arrange the cut potatoes on the bottom of the dish and sprinkle a little salt. Then, add the cut vegetables (carrots, peppers, and bell peppers) over the potatoes. Season with pepper and rosemary to taste - rosemary adds a very pleasant aroma to the dish.

5. Adding the layer of Kaiser: Spread the onion and Kaiser mixture over the vegetables, followed by the tomato rounds. The final layer will be the grated cheese, which will melt beautifully during baking.

6. Preparing the egg mixture: In a bowl, beat the eggs together with the sour cream until you achieve a homogeneous mixture. This will add a creamy texture and rich flavor to the dish. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cheese layer.

7. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and appetizing.

8. Serving: Once the dish is ready, take it out of the oven and let it cool slightly for 5-10 minutes. Serve warm, alongside pickles or a fresh salad, and for an extra touch, you can add a spoonful of yogurt or sour cream on top.

Nutritional benefits: This dish is an excellent source of complex carbohydrates from the potatoes, proteins from the Kaiser and eggs, as well as vitamins and minerals from the vegetables. The cheese adds a boost of calcium and healthy fats.

Vegetarian option: If you want to turn this recipe into a vegetarian option, you can replace the Kaiser with marinated tofu or mushrooms, which will add a delicious umami flavor.
