Ingredients

6 eggs
120 mililitres milk ½ cup
60 grams self-raising flour ½ cup
½ onion diced
50 grams cauliflower (riced) ½ cup
50 grams broccoli (riced) ½ cup
75 grams corn kernels ½ cup
60 grams grated cheese ½ cup
Salt and Pepper To taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (360 Fahrenheit)
Prep your tin: I cook this veggie slice in a slice tin. Mine is approximately 20cm x 30cm. I spray the tin with oil, then I line it with baking paper. I line it in a way that the paper drapes over the long edges of the tin, this allows me to easily lift out the slice when it is cooked.
In a large mixing bowl whisk the eggs, milk and flour. Don't worry if it's a bit lumpy, the lumps bake out.
Stir through the remaining ingredients: Cauliflower, Broccoli, Onion, Cheese, Corn Kernels. Season with salt and pepper to taste (skip the salt if you are going to use this recipe for baby led weaning)
Pour the veggie slice mix into your slice tin. Bake at 180 degrees for 20 minutes or until the slice has risen, all the egg is cooked and the slice is golden brown on top.
Cool, then enjoy!

Notes

Cook Time: If you are baking a thin slice like the one I have pictured, the cooking time will be approximately 20 minutes, if you have decided to make your veggie slice in a smaller tin, the cooking time will be longer, in a loaf tin it can take up to 40 minutes.

Cool a little before slicing: When the veggie slice is piping hot from the oven it can fall apart a little when you slice it. If you let it cool a bit, it will firm up and be easier to slice.

Everything is better with Bacon: This recipe is absolutely delicious with a little added bacon! Add around 100g of chopped bacon when you add the veggies and you won't regret it. The bacon does not have to be cooked first it will cook in the slice just fine.

Vegetable slice can be stored in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or frozen for up 3 months.

Ingredient notes and substitutions

Self-raising flour: this can be substituted for ½ cup of plain flour and ½ teaspoon of baking powder. Or for a gluten-free alternative ½ cup of ground almonds and ½ teaspoon of baking powder. You can also use a GF flour.
Riced cauliflower and broccoli: You can rice your broccoli and cauliflower by blitzing them into rice-sized pieces in a food processor... or check your local supermarket freezer for broccoli and cauliflower rice.
Grated cheese: I like to use strong, tasty cheddar in this recipe.
Milk: You can use any plant-based milk if you do not wish to use cow's milk.
Corn kernels: Frozen or canned corn kernels are fine for this recipe.
