2 tbsp olive oil
¼ cup crumbled feta or grated Parmesan (optional)

Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Potatoes
1. Boil diced potatoes in salted water for 8–10 minutes, until tender but not mushy.
2. Drain and set aside.
Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables
1. In an oven-safe skillet (8–10 inches), heat olive oil over medium heat.
2. Add onion and cook 2–3 minutes until soft.
3. Add zucchini and green beans (or broccoli) and cook another 4–5 minutes until slightly tender.
4. Add boiled potatoes and season with salt, pepper, and oregano.
Step 3: Add the Eggs
1. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, cheese (if using), and herbs.
2. Pour egg mixture evenly over the veggies in the skillet.
3. Gently stir once to distribute ingredients, then cook on low heat for 3–4 minutes until edges begin to set.
Step 4: Bake or Finish on Stove
Oven method: Transfer skillet to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 10–12 minutes, until golden and set in the center.
Stovetop method: Cover and cook on very low heat for 8–10 minutes until eggs are fully set.
Step 5: Serve
Let cool slightly before slicing into wedges.
Serve warm or at room temperature with a simple side salad or tzatziki.
