Cheese and broccoli tart - made in a frying pan

This crustless broccoli and cheese tart is going to knock your socks off. It’s made with an entire head of broccoli, packed with cheese and bound together with egg. You can serve it hot as a vegetable side with a roast, or let it go cold, and eat a slice for a quick and easy lunch. And instead of baking it in the oven you fry it on the stove in a frying pan!

Ingredients

  • 1 medium head of broccoli
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup plain all purpose flour
  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon sunflower oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the broccoli into florets (including the stems) and microwave in a covered dish on high for 3 minutes. Allow to cool

  2. 2

    Break 2 eggs into a mixing bowl and add 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional), 1 teaspoon baking powder and whisk until all the lumps have been removed.

  3. 3

    Cut the cold broccoli into 1cm to 2 cm chunks (½"to 1")

  4. 4

    Mix the broccoli and cheese into the egg mixture.

  5. 5

    Heat 1 tablespoon sunflower oil in an 8" frying pan and swirl the oil around to coat the pan.

  6. 6

    Spoon the broccoli mixture into the frying pan and press down gently with a spatula to distribute evenly in the pan

  7. 7

    Fry over a medium/low heat for 5 minutes until the bottom of the tart is nicely browned.

  8. 8

    To turn the tart over so the other side can cook, invert a large plate over the frying pan, and holding the plate in place with one hand, take hold of the handle of the frying pan and turn the pan over. The tart should fall out onto the plate.

  9. 9

    Slide the tart back into the frying pan and cook the other side for approximately 5 minutes until golden brown.

    Remove from the heat, slide the tart out of the pan onto a plate, and leave to cool.
