Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel and finely dice the carrots.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Slice the scallions thinly.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, add carrots and peas. Cover with water, bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Drain the vegetables and set aside.
- In the same saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes until it forms a smooth paste and begins to lightly brown.
- Slowly whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Add the ground nutmeg, stirring to incorporate.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked vegetables (carrots and peas) with the milk mixture.
- Add the beaten eggs, grated cheddar cheese, and sliced scallions.
- Stir everything together until well combined.
- Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared muffin tin or ramekins.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the puddings are golden brown and set in the middle.
- Allow the puddings to cool for a few minutes before removing from the muffin tin or ramekins.
- Serve warm, garnished with extra sliced scallions if desired.
Tips:
- Ensure to finely grate the carrots for a consistent texture and even cooking.
- Whisk the eggs thoroughly before combining them with the other ingredients to ensure a smooth and evenly mixed pudding batter.
- Grease the baking dishes well to prevent the puddings from sticking and to make clean-up easier.
- For a richer flavor, consider using sharp cheddar cheese.
- Preheat the oven to ensure even cooking and a perfect golden-brown crust on your puddings.
- If you prefer a little heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the mixture.
- These puddings can be prepared ahead of time and reheated in the oven, making them a convenient option for busy days or entertaining.
These savoury vegetable puddings are not only tasty but also packed with nutrients. They make a great addition to any meal and are sure to be a hit with both adults and children. Enjoy the delightful combination of creamy cheese, tender vegetables, and aromatic spices in every bite.
