An egg bake is one of the easiest ways to cook for a group, because you whisk, pour and forget. Broccoli, red pepper and spinach are scattered in a pan, covered with seasoned eggs and cheddar, and baked until just set and lightly golden. It slices into neat squares that travel well and reheat in the microwave in under a minute. Make it on Sunday and you have breakfasts for most of the week.
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Brush a 23 x 33 cm (9 x 13 inch) baking dish with the oil and line it with parchment, leaving an overhang for easy lifting.
- Scatter the pepper, broccoli, spinach and red onion evenly over the bottom of the dish.
- Whisk the eggs, milk, paprika, salt and pepper in a large jug until smooth and no streaks of white remain.
- Pour the egg mixture slowly over the vegetables. Sprinkle with the cheddar and spring onions.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the eggs are set in the center and a knife comes out clean. The top should be lightly golden.
- Cool for 5 minutes, lift out with the parchment and cut into 6 squares. Serve warm.
Tips
- Cut the broccoli very small. Big pieces stay raw, and they make the squares crumble when you cut them.
- Swap the vegetables for mushrooms, tomatoes, zucchini or roasted potatoes, and use any cheese you like. Dry the vegetables well so the bake does not turn watery.
