Vegetable Bake with Cheese and Cream
Ingredients:
- 3 peppers
- 1 carrot
- 7 small potatoes
- Water
- Parsley
- Dill
- Leek
- 1/2 cabbage
- 4 eggs
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Italian herbs
- 50 ml (1/4 cup) milk
- 30 ml (2 tablespoons) olive oil
- 5 tablespoons flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 200 grams (1 glass) cheese
- 1 onion
- Olive oil
- 200 grams (7 oz) mushrooms
- 150 ml (1/2 cup) cream
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Prepare the vegetables by slicing the peppers, carrot, potatoes, leek, and cabbage into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large baking dish and cover them with water. Leave to soak for 10 minutes, then drain and squeeze out any excess water.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and season with salt, black pepper, and Italian herbs. Add the milk, olive oil, flour, and baking powder, and mix until smooth.
- Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the baking dish, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the vegetables are tender.
- While the vegetables are baking, prepare the cheese topping. Grate the cheese and chop the onion. Heat some olive oil in a skillet and sauté the onion until golden brown. Add the mushrooms and cook, covered, for 15 minutes to prevent the liquid from evaporating.
- Once the vegetables are cooked, sprinkle the cheese over the top and return to the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Finally, pour the cream over the vegetables and season with salt and black pepper. Return to the oven and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cream is heated through.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley and dill, and enjoy your delicious vegetable bake!
