Ingredients

  • 3 handfuls of broccoli florets
  • 1 leek
  • 1 tsp caraway seeds
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • Salt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Hard cheese for a topping (optional)

Method

  1. 1

    Wash the broccoli and cut into florets. Then place in a saucepan with 1cm of boiling water, cover with a lid, reduce the heat and cook until the water evaporates and the broccoli becomes softer, around 7-10 min.

  2. 2

    While broccoli is cooking, chop the leeks and add to a roasting dish with some olive oil.

  3. 3

    Add the spices, a bit of salt, the softened broccoli and mix well.

  4. 4

    Whisk the eggs in a bowl, add a pinch of salt and pour over the veggies in the tray. The veggies should be covered by the egg mixture.

  5. 5

    Bake at 180°C for 35-40 min until the eggs are cooked through.

  6. 6

    Once it's cooked and still hot, add the grated cheese to the top and allow to melt.
