Five Vegie Slice
Egg and vegetable slice for main course or finger food
This is a variation on Zucchini Slice Recipe R11, but without the flour, so it is considerably thinner. We also changed the cheddar to cottage cheese, making it more suitable for anyone on a low cholesterol diet. The vegies are whatever you like and can be changed according to preference and availability.
1 small carrot
½ cup frozen spinach
¼ cup cauliflower
½ cup zucchini
1 small potato
2 eggs
2 Tbsps cottage cheese
1 Tbsp grated Parmesan
1 tsp turmeric
Salt and pepper (optional)
Lightly beat the eggs in a bowl with the turmeric and salt and pepper if using. Grate the vegetables into the egg mix and combine well. Finally, mix in the Parmesan and cottage cheese.
Line a suitable oven-proof dish with baking paper and press in the mixture evenly and to the edges, ensuring there are no air bubbles.
Bake on 162°C fan forced (180°C conventional) for 20-30 minutes until lightly browning. Test with a finger to ensure the middle is cooked.
Serves 2-4 with chips and/or salad okay to freeze
TIP: get the kids to help with the grating and mixing. Despite the vegies, this might encourage them to try it; and perhaps even take a slice in their lunch boxes.
