It’ easy, and it’s garlicky! For those of you who might feel guilty serving something called “mush” to your unsuspecting families, its alternate title is “Simple Stovetop Ratatouille.” It serves 2 very hungry adults—but it’s easy to multiply the quantities.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and butter together in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted, add your chopped zucchini. Cook on high for 6-7 minutes, until the zucchini pieces are starting to get golden. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Add your minced garlic and halved tomatoes, and lower the heat to medium. Let it cook away for a while, about 12 minutes, stirring occasionally until it becomes mushy and delicious (but not too liquidy). When you drag the spatula across the pan, it should leave a space instead of immediately filling with liquid.
When the mush is about done, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil (or some butter) in another nonstick skillet and add your eggs. We like to do 2 per person, over easy. Serve mush and eggs over white rice. Sprinkle on some blue cheese if desired.
This has been my go-to meal for years, and it’s delicious.

I had to laugh… we have a family favorite affectionately known as “Gray Stuff” (aka Hamburger Stroganoff). It’s really good, but sounds terrible. We had a friend to dinner when his wife was in the hospital having a baby, and you should have seen his face when I told him what we were having!

I think the name makes me want to serve it even more! I remember when I was a kid, one night I asked my mom what was for dinner and she said sloppy joes. It took her about two days to convince me she wasn’t pulling my leg.
This looks really tasty. Thanks!
