Time to ‘slice’ up your mid week meals with this tasty Veggie Slice. It is great to make in advance and take for lunches throughout the week.

 

SERVES: 6

PREP TIME: 15 MINS

COOKING TIME: 55 MINS

INGREDIENTS:

  • 5 eggs

  • 1 cup of self raising spelt flour (or any self raising flour)

  • 1 medium carrot, grated

  • 1 medium zucchini, grated

  • 1/2 red capsicum, diced

  • 1 brown onion, diced

  • 100ml olive oil

  • 100g cheese, grated

  • 6 cherry tomatoes, chopped in half

  • 2 Tbsp. of parsley (fresh or dried), finely chopped

 

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Preheat oven to 180C and lightly grease a slice tin and/or line with baking paper.

  2. In a large bowl mix eggs, flour, carrot, zucchini, capsicum, onion, oil and cheese.

  3. Pour batter into prepared slice tin, shake slightly to even out mixture. Evenly arrange tomatoes with the sliced edge up and push gently into the batter, then sprinkle with parsley.

  4. Place in the oven for approximately 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown, firm and bounces back when touched. Cut into slices and serve with a fresh salad.

VARIATIONS & TIPS:

  • For a mediterranean twist, add your favourite olives, some feta instead of grated cheese and substitute brown onion for Spanish onion.

  • For those of you asking, “Where is the meat?” You can definitely add some additional protein to this dish. For example, some ham or bacon can be added for a smoked flavour, some cooked flaked salmon or a medium tin of tuna can be mixed through before baking.

  • This is a great recipe to prepare in advance. It is an easy breakfast, lunch on the go or an easy late night post training dinner.
