On the day before shopping day, when the fridge is looking a little bare, save for various odds and sods, there is still culinary magic to be made. Dig out your leftovers, add some milk, eggs and cheese, and hey presto – impossible pie is served!
You can add any variation of flavours you like, so use your imagination.
Start with:
2 cups milk
4 eggs
90g butter, melted
1/2 cup plain flour
1 cup grated tasty cheese
2 spring onions, chopped
1 tbsp chopped parsley
Then add:
1/2 cup chopped ham/chicken or similar
1/2 cup leafy greens, fresh or frozen (thaw if using frozen)
1/2 cup chopped capsicum/mushrooms/courgettes
To serve:
Add a side salad
Method:
Preheat your oven to oven 180°C and lightly grease a deep, 25cm pie plate.
In a large jug, whisk together milk, eggs and butter; season to taste. Sift the flour into a large bowl. Make a well in the centre and gradually whisk in milk mixture.
Mix in 1/2 cup cheese, protein, greens, other veges, spring onion and parsley.
Spoon mixture into prepared pie plate. Sprinkle with remaining grated cheese; bake 45-50 minutes, until firm. Serve in wedges with salad.
