What you will need
- 200g / 1 heaped cup hubbard squash, cut into cubes (sweet potato, pumpkin and butternut work well too)
- 250g streaky bacon
- 1 tsp Natural Herbs and Spices Rosemary & Lemon
- 2 medium leeks, white and green, sliced
- 150g / ± 1 cup baby marrow, sliced
- 80g / ± 1 cup broccoli florets, roughly chopped
- 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 12 XL free-range eggs
- 125ml milk (or cream)
- ± 3 tsp Natural Herbs and Spices Rosemary & Lemon
- 180g / ± 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 100g feta cheese, crumbled
- Fresh chives, for serving
- Olive oil, for cooking
- 20 x 30cm baking dish
Method
Preheat oven to 200˚C.
Then place hubbard squash and bacon on a large baking tray and drizzle squash with olive oil and toss with Natural Herbs and Spices Rosemary & Lemon Seasoning.
Bake for 20 minutes at 200˚C until the hubbard squash is tender and the bacon is crispy. Roughly chop the bacon and set aside.
Next up, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan. Add the leeks and cook until tender. Add the marrow, broccoli and bell peppers.
Season everything well with Natural Herbs and Spices Rosemary & Lemon Seasoning and cook until the veg is all tender but retains a good bite.
Then combine eggs and milk in a medium sized bowl. Season generously with Natural Herbs and Spices Rosemary & Lemon Seasoning. Whisk to mix thoroughly.
Transfer all the cooked vegetables to a greased baking dish. Scatter with cherry tomatoes and add in the roasted hubbard squash and bacon bits.
Sprinkle everything with crumbly feta cheese and pour over the egg mixture.
Reduce oven to 180˚C and bake for 35-40 minutes until cooked through and when shaked has a slight jiggle.
Allow to cool slightly and then slice into large squares.
Scatter with sliced chives just before serving and enjoy!
