Method

Preheat oven to 180°C / Gas Mark 4 / 350°F

  1. Microwave broccoli florets for 4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  2. Dice onions. Chop courgette and red bell pepper into small pieces. Run broccoli under cool water and drain; chop into small pieces.
  3. Heat a 10-inch saute pan or skillet on medium-high heat. Add olive oil and onions. Saute for 2-3 minutes, until onions begin to brown. Add courgette, bell pepper, and broccoli to saute for another 2-3 minutes, until soft and moist. Add in spinach and cook for another 1-2 minutes more, until slightly wilted. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the mixture to rest.
  4. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the eggs and season with salt and black pepper. Add the eggs to the vegetable mixture. Then place the pan directly into the preheated oven. (If you'd rather transfer the egg mixture into a 9-inch pie or square casserole dish, you can.)
  5. Bake for 20 minutes or until the eggs are well set and slightly browned. Slice into wedges and serve immediately.

You can freeze each serving for mornings you don't have time to prepare breakfast. Just microwave, eat, and enjoy!
