Ingredients

300g buttercup squash flesh, chopped in small pieces
350g carrot, chopped in small pieces
oil spray
½ tablespoon garlic-infused oil
½ cup diced capsicum
1 bunch spring onions, green tips only sliced
1 large courgette, grated
1 cup fresh or frozen spinach
generous ½ cup coarsely chopped fresh basil, plus extra, to garnish (optional)
4 eggs
2 egg whites
60ml lactose-free milk
½ cup grated fresh reduced-fat cheddar cheese
pepper, to season
80g feta cheese, crumbled

Instructions

1 Preheat oven to 250°C. Spray pumpkin and carrot pieces with oil then roast for 20 minutes. While pumpkin and carrot are roasting, heat infused oil in a frying pan and add capsicum, spring onion greens, courgette and spinach, cooking gently until tender. Add basil to vegetables as they cook. Once tender-crisp, remove pan from heat and allow vegetables to cool a little.

2 Line a Swiss-roll pan or slice tin with non-stick baking paper. Spread cooked pumpkin on tray. Whisk together eggs, egg whites, milk and cheddar then season with pepper. Reduce oven temperature to 220°C.

3 Add cooled vegetables to egg mixture then pour over pumpkin in pan. Scatter feta on top and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden. Serve garnished with extra fresh basil (if using).
