Hi guys and gals! Here's something I tried the other day with what I had on hand, you can substitute veggies and meats you may have in the fridge and pantry that needs to be used also. What I was pleasantly surprised about was how much Joel actually liked it! I really hope you do too.

Egg and spinach bake

Ingredients:

about 5 bunches spinach, washed and stems removed

2 heaped teaspoons of chicken stock powder

1 cup grated mild cheese, in two portions of roughly half cup each

4 or 5 eggs, beaten well

1 cup flour (self-raising works)

1 or 2 radishes, washed and sliced

1 onion, chopped

1 or 2 cups cooked cubed chicken meat

a shake of paprika (about a quarter teaspoon)

salt and pepper to taste

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celcius.

2. Whizz all ingredients (save half the cheese) together in a food processor until spinach leaves are chopped finely and well mixed in (around 20 or 30 seconds on high speed).

3. Pour into a greased quiche dish (or any dish of your preference for baking in).

4. Sprinkle remainder of grated cheese over top.

5. Bake in oven for about 25 minutes, checking at 20 min to see if it is golden brown.

Enjoy with a red or orange vegetable (or fruit!) for a nutritionally balanced meal. We used red grapes – yum. And my very fussy eater actually wanted more of the bake after he had a taste!
