Ingredients:
  • 75.08 gm light-flavoured extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 brown onion, finely chopped
  • 2 middle bacon rashers, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 200g broccoli, cut into small florets
  • 200g orange sweet potato, peeled, cut into 1cm cubes
  • 1 small red capsicum, cut into 1cm pieces
  • 82.50 ml fresh basil leaves
  • 82.50 ml fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
  • 1 large zucchini, grated
  • 375.00 ml grated tasty cheese
  • 150.00 gm self-raising flour
  • 2.50 gm ground cumin
  • 1.25 gm ground paprika
  • 6 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 84.98 gm milk
  • 250.00 ml plain Greek-style yoghurt
  • 60g baby rocket
Instructions:
  • 1. Preheat your oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced and grease a 4cm-deep enamel baking dish (16cm x 22cm base, 20.5cm x 26.5cm top) before lining the base and sides with baking paper, allowing a 2cm overhang.
  • In a frying pan over medium-high heat, sauté onion and bacon in 2 teaspoons of oil for 5 minutes until onion softens. Stir in garlic, broccoli, sweet potato, and capsicum, and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer the vegetable mixture to a large bowl. Allow it to cool for 20 minutes.
  • Mix basil, parsley, zucchini, 1 cup of cheese, flour, cumin, and paprika into the vegetable mixture. Season with salt and pepper and stir well. In a separate container, whisk together the egg, milk, and remaining oil, then add it to the vegetable mixture. Stir until fully combined.
  • Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan, then generously sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until beautifully golden and firm to the touch. Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving with a side of yogurt and baby rocket.
