    In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

    Add 1 chopped onion and 1 chopped bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté them for about 5 minutes until softened.

    Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.

    8

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the top is golden and set.
