Ingredients
- 2 count zucchini
- 1 count red bell pepper
- 1 count green bell pepper
- 1 count yellow onion

- 8 count eggs
- 1 count crusty bread

Steps
- Warm 3 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the diced onion and peppers 8 minutes until soft.

- Stir in the tomatoes, paprika, salt, and pepper and simmer 12-15 minutes until thick and jammy.
