This is a lovely easy recipe for a summers day lunch or light dinner. You can make it a day ahead to save cooking time.
It's full of healthy fats and protein from the feta, olives and eggs, and a wonderful mix of vitamins and minerals from the mediterranean vegetables.
This recipe is great for all but is particularly great for preconception and pregnancy, it provides lots of essential nutrients needed to support fertility and pregnancy such as choline from eggs, healthy fats from the olives, antioxidants from the herbs and vegetables.
It's great for kids too, you can simplify the ingredients down to a couple of vegetables to make it more kid friendly.
Recipe:
Ingredients:
200g sweet potato (one medium sweet potato)
200g red pepper (1 red pepper)
120g cherry tomatoes
120g courgette (1 medium courgette)
200g feta
1 red onion
2 garlic cloves
50 g frozen peas
40 g black olives
1 tbsp dried oregano
6 eggs
Salt and pepper
Method:
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C.
Cut the potato into chunks, dice the pepper and slice the red onion and courgette into thin slices. Add to a baking tray with a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes until the vegetables are cooked.
Meanwhile half the tomatoes and black olives, defrost the peas, chop the feta into cubes and finely chop the garlic, set aside. Beat the eggs in a bowl.
Gently fry the garlic in a large oven proof pan until slightly golden (1-2 minutes)
Once the vegetables are ready remove from the oven and place into the pan with the garlic, pour over the eggs, add the olives, tomatoes, peas, and oregano and gently mix until evenly combined. Top with the feta cubes.
Cook on the hob on a medium heat until the bottom layer is cooked through (around 5 minutes). Then place under the grill until the eggs are cooked through and turning golden brown (around 5 to 10 minutes), watch to make sure it doesn't burn!
Serve with a side salad.
You can eat this warm or cold, and it can be kept in the fridge to be used for lunch or dinner the day after too!
