Ingredients
1 tsp Olive oil
1 Onion, peeled and chopped
300 g (11 oz) Broccoli, cut into florets
150 g (5 oz) Peas
8 Eggs, beaten
150 g (5 oz) Cheese, grated (cheddar, feta, or a mix)
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Fresh chives, to garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a shallow baking dish with olive oil.
- Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened.
- Add the broccoli florets and cook for 4–5 minutes until starting to soften, then stir in the peas and cook for a further 3 minutes.
- Transfer the vegetables to the greased baking dish and spread them out evenly.
- Pour the beaten eggs over the vegetables and sprinkle the grated cheese evenly on top.
- Season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, until set but still slightly wobbly in the centre.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or cold, garnished with fresh chives if desired.
Notes
Use frozen vegetables if preferred—just thaw and drain before adding.
Try different fillings such as spinach, roasted peppers, or courgettes.
Mix up the cheese with cheddar, feta, or goat’s cheese for different flavours.
Add cooked bacon, ham, or chicken for a non-vegetarian option.
Store in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
Reheat in the oven or microwave until hot, or enjoy cold.
