Recipe for a delicious quick dinner, savoury slices for lunchboxes and picnics.
This is great on the day it’s made or when cold with a salad, or to take on picnics. Naturally gluten-free, digestion-friendly, high fibre, no added fat, low carb.
It went down so well with the team here that it disappeared very quickly.
Like a quiche without pastry
Much easier to make than quiche and healthier than pastry.
The team here decided it is like quiche or a lighter version of frittata or Spanish omelette with extras.

I’m just loving the results of baking with Flax Farm Linseed Porridge, It’s a great gluten-free alternative to flour. it’s easy to use, good flavour and texture and means I can eat the sort of savoury things I enjoy again.
Create variations, adapt to what you have available
Don’t worry too much about quantities, this isn’t haute cuisine, it’s good simple fare and always comes out well, If you don’t have an ingredient, just use something else similar in texture. Feel free to change any ingredients, sweet potato can be swapped for regular potato or, if you want a lighter less carby version, carrots or celeriac. Add cooked leftovers, like spinach or cooked cauliflower. Don’t worry that your veggies are too big or small, nothing needs to be too precise.
Even add cooked chicken or bacon if you want.
