We made this this week for a family dinner and it was a huge success - they LOVED it!
This is a great vegetarian main meal or makes for a delicious side dish.
Of course we LOVE Broccoli & Cauliflower Cheese ( I mean who doesn't ) however we fancied making something a little different.
We added some ingredients we already had in the fridge and cupboard and we are thrilled to say - It was LUSH!
It's packed full of veggie goodness and protein from the eggs and cheese - it's SO GOOD!
We also love the fact that it's all cooked in one dish - less dishes for washing up is always good...
We served it as a main dish with a side of quinoa and steamed red cabbage and it was delicious...
Lets get into the recipe.
Happy Cooking!

INGREDIENTS
Serves 4 as a main dish or approx 6 as a side
1x medium broccoli
1x medium cauliflower
1x large onion
600g tomato passata
Eggs ( We like to use 2 per person )
Mozzarella balls ( We like to use 2 per person. Each ball is approximately 1 inch )
1x tbsp olive oil
2x large pinches of black pepper
2x large pinches of sea salt
1x tbsp of Italian mixed herbs
1x tsp of garlic powder
Approximately 2x tbsp of pesto
METHOD
Preheat the oven to 300C
Prepare your veg.
We like to cut each floret of the broccoli & cauliflower into halves - you're aiming for bite size pieces of veg.
Peel & dice the onion into large chunks.
Add all of the chopped veg into a large oven dish.
Drizzle with olive oil or your preferred oil and season with the salt, pepper, garlic & Italian herbs.
Cover in foil and pop it onto the top shelf of the oven for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes the veg should be pretty much cooked. Remove from the oven and reduce the heat to 210C.
Now pour your passata over your veg and crack your desired amount of eggs into the Wells in your veg.
Finish by adding your mozzarella balls and then pop it back onto the top shelf of the oven and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the eggs are cooked to your preferred texture. We like our yolks runny so we baked ours for 20-25 minutes.
Remove from the oven, add dollops of pesto and serve - Enjoy!
