They say don’t judge the book by its cover. And this is me presenting you the “don’t judge situation”. Do not judge this dish. Just imagine a perfect hangover breakfast or one of these mornings when you have enough because your kids are annoying or your partner is just too much (always their fault, never ours). This is that kind of a breakfast… it will make you so happy… it made me super happy. Me and Tomasz to be precise, because Mia has decided that this is a “vomit kind of a breaky”. Not because it was not delicious or healthy, but because she has this beautiful life faze, when she feels like eating plain paste or plain rice or plain couscous.
I prepared this amazing veggie casserole and she was excited to help with a table styling, but when it came to eating she said strong NO! I was trying to convince her… nothing, bribe her…nothing, make her eat it by using my parental power – she tried and said that it is so disgusting that she is going to … you know what. She did not do it, maybe because I told her with a big smile that she definitely won the battle. If you ask Tomasz, there is nothing to puke about. The flavour is delicate and simply delicious. I did not pay him to say it, nor did I intimidate him to say it. He did eat 3/4 of the casserole, which speaks for itself. They also say that action speaks louder than words, so you know…just listen!
The beauty of this casserole is that, as long as you have eggs, you can add whatever you have in your fridge. Replace feta with cheddar or just add more veggies. You can use carrots if you like, or potatoes. If you feel like more spinach, add more. You don’t need to follow the recipe, but your own taste buds.
You will need (for 2 people):
- 1/2 onion
- 1/2 celery stalk
- 1/2 red capsicum
- 2 handfuls of spinach
- 1 tbsp persley
- 3 cm zucchini
- 6 eggs
- pinch of salt and pepper
- 1/2 cup feta cheese
- 3 tbsp black beans from a can (optional)
Cut all the veggies in small pieces. Spread some oil over a pan (I used an iron one so I can place it in the oven later on) and fry the onion for a moment so it becomes glassy. Add the rest of the veggies and fry them over a medium heat.
In a bowl, beat the eggs so whites and yolks combine.
Add eggs to the veggies, add spices, feta and beans, and place in the oven for about 30 minutes. Check on your eggs from time to time, because you know your oven better than I do. But I do know mine.
Enjoy, Marta
