Directions
Keeping chickens is one of the most common pets that family’s have in Albania. We have many and hatch more each year which means we have a good supply of eggs, great for this egg bake. Eggs are used across a lot of Albanian dishes, in the cakes & biscuits, whisked and coated on Qofte, boiled to be served as a side, fried to make an omelette style side as well in many main course dishes.
The great thing about this egg bake is that you can use any ingredients you wish, my bake is based on peppers, spinach and potatoes, you can leave the potatoes out for a lighter dish.
Tip: This recipe is great for using up left overs or bits from the fridge. Try adding bacon, ham or salami before baking for a meat version.
