Voiceover. Set out a scale and the equipment for Mish-mash. Heat to medium-high heat, pan about 375°F / 190°C and give it 5 minutes so the surface is actually hot. Weigh egg, red bell pepper, tomato, feta, olive oil, kosher salt, flat-leaf parsley. Mish-mash is cooked in Bulgaria as its own dish. Cook pepper and tomato, then scramble the eggs and cheese through them. Amounts are scaled for four from foods this library can count, so the nutrition panel comes from those ingredients.

Scene 12 · mistakes · 7s
If it goes wrong
Shot. Split screen is unnecessary. Show the finished, correct texture, then a hand points at the cue.
Voiceover. Mish-mash looks done at the edge and is still raw in the center. Trust the cue, not the color. Check the thickest piece and give it a few more minutes. Mish-mash turned out salty, dry, or watery. Weigh the salt and the liquid next time. Keep the heat at the temperature in the method, and stop when the doneness cue appears.

Machine-readable script for a later video tool. Scene durations are edit lengths, not cooking times. Long simmers and bakes are jump cuts. Order: hook, title, mise, equipment, one scene per numbered step (shot, on-screen text, voiceover, duration), doneness, fixes, storage, nutrition, plate, and the closing CTA. Keep the shot list and on-screen facts tied to this recipe.
