Ingredients:

1/2 cup olive oil
120g
1 cup self-raising flour
150g
1 cup cheddar cheese
160g
1 carrot
60g
1 zucchini
300g
1 cup scallions
50g
1 cup pumpkin
120g
4 cups mushrooms
920g
1/4 cup fresh parsley
16g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a large baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Grate the carrot, zucchini, and pumpkin.
- Slice the mushrooms.
- Finely chop the scallions and fresh parsley.
3. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 5 eggs and 1/2 cup of olive oil until well combined.
4. Incorporate the Dry Ingredients and Cheese:
Gradually add the 1 cup self-raising flour to the egg and oil mixture, stirring until smooth.
Stir in the 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
5. Add Vegetables:
Add the grated carrot, zucchini, and pumpkin to the bowl. Toss in the finely chopped scallions and the sliced mushrooms. Mix everything until well combined.
6. Combine Everything:
Gently fold in the 1/4 cup of finely chopped fresh parsley, ensuring the mixture is evenly incorporated.

7. Pour into the Baking Dish:
Transfer the mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
8. Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until the vege bake is golden brown on top and cooked through (a skewer inserted into the center should come out clean).
9. Cool and Serve:
Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before cutting into portions. Serve warm.

Tips:

- Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) before starting to ensure an even bake.

- Ensure all vegetables are chopped uniformly for even cooking. Grating the carrot and zucchini can save time and enhance the texture of the bake.

- Drain any excess moisture from the grated zucchini to prevent the bake from becoming too watery.

- Whisk the eggs thoroughly before adding them to the mixture to ensure a light and airy texture.

- Feel free to add other vegetables of your choice or substitute them based on seasonal availability.

- Allow the bake to cool for a few minutes before cutting to ensure it sets properly and to make it easier to serve.

Di's Vege Bake is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed hot or cold. Perfect for lunches, dinners, or even potlucks, this bake is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. Not only is it simple to make, but it also provides a great way to incorporate more vegetables into your diet. Enjoy this wholesome, delicious, and healthy meal with friends and family!
