A WORD FROM THE CHEF

We’ve done away with the pastry to create a cheesy, vegetable-packed quiche you can put on the menu any day of the week. It’s equally good eaten hot or cold. It takes an hour to prepare and cook.

INGREDIENTS

Low-calorie cooking spray

One red pepper, deseeded and finely chopped

200g broccoli florets, roughly chopped

A courgette, cut into 1cm dice

Four spring onions, finely chopped

Six eggs

One garlic clove, peeled and crushed

1tsp dried mixed herbs

120g Cheddar cheese, grated

2tbsp finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, to garnish

METHOD

Preheat the oven to 180°C/Gas 4.

Spray a large frying pan with low calorie cooking spray and sauté the peppers, broccoli and courgettes for 6-8 minutes over a medium heat or until just tender. Remove from the heat, add the spring onions and set aside.

Beat the eggs with the garlic, dried herbs and half of the cheese and season well.

Lightly spray a round pie dish with low calorie cooking spray and add the vegetables. Pour over the egg mixture and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until just set. Garnish with the parsley and serve warm or at room temperature.
