Savory Potato and Vegetable Bake

Savory Potato and Vegetable Bake

Ingredients:

• 3 large potatoes, peeled and grated
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 carrot, peeled and grated
• 1 pepper, finely chopped
• Olive oil, for sautéing
• Salt, to taste
• Chives, chopped
• 3 eggs
• 300 ml milk
• 200 g wholemeal flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 150 g cheese, grated

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Vegetables:
   • In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, finely chopped onion, grated carrot, and finely chopped pepper. Mix well.
3. Sauté the Vegetables:
   • Heat a little olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the vegetable mixture to the skillet and sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt to taste. Set aside to cool slightly.
4. Prepare the Batter:
   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Add the wholemeal flour and baking powder, and mix until well combined. The batter should be smooth.
5. Combine and Assemble:
   • Add the sautéed vegetables to the batter and mix until everything is well combined. Stir in the chopped chives and half of the grated cheese.
6. Bake:
   • Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining grated cheese evenly over the top.
7. Bake the Dish:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. You can check by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
8. Cool and Serve:
   • Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Cut into squares or slices and enjoy!

Notes:

• Variations: You can add other vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or spinach based on your preference.
• Cheese: Feel free to use your favorite type of cheese, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or a combination.
• Herbs: Additional herbs like parsley, thyme, or rosemary can be added for extra flavor.
