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:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Vegetables:
- In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, finely chopped onion, grated carrot, and finely chopped pepper. Mix well.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Bake:
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining grated cheese evenly over the top.
- 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.
- 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.
