Instructions 

1. Prepare the Zucchini:

2. Prepare the Egg Mixture:

3. Cook the Vegetables and Chicken: 

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a bit of vegetable oil. 
• Add the minced garlic and finely chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent. 
• Add the grated carrot, diced chicken fillet, and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink and the vegetables are tender. 
• Add the diced eggplant, grated zucchini, and diced tomatoes. Stir well to combine. 
• Season with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of oregano, ½ teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of curry powder. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, until all the vegetables are tender and the flavors are well combined. 

4. Combine and Bake: 

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). 
• Transfer the cooked vegetable and chicken mixture into a baking dish. 
• Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and chicken, ensuring it spreads evenly. 
• Sprinkle the grated cheese on top. 

5. Bake:
