Mish-mash is the Bulgarian summer breakfast scramble: tomato, green pepper, onion and sirene cheese all folded into soft scrambled eggs, eaten hot with bread and ayran.
Mish-mash is the Bulgarian summer breakfast, evolved from peasant kitchens turning leftover roast peppers into a fast skillet meal. The name (literally, mish-mash) reflects the dish's improvisational character. Eat with bread and a glass of ayran in Plovdiv's morning cafes from June through September while the peppers are in season.
