Preparation Steps

2 Over a medium-high flame, heat the oil in a large 23cm oven-safe frying pan. Add the mixed vegetables and stir for 2 minutes.

3 Simultaneously, beat the eggs in a separate bowl. Pour whisked eggs onto the vegetables in the pan. Lower the heat and allow it to cook for about 1-2 minutes or until eggs are close to setting.

4 Add parmesan on top and transfer the pan into your preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until it turns golden and bubbles.

5 Concurrently whip up the summer salad by combining rocket, cucumbers, and tomatoes in a bowl. Sprinkle with the juice from the lemon and season with pepper to taste.
