How to Make Vegetable Bake for Breakfast

Preheat the oven to 400°F first; you need it ready, nice, and hot.  Get a baking dish out ready to use.

Peel your red onion and slice it thinly.  Add to your baking dish.

De-seed your bell pepper, cut into chunks, add to your baking dish, and add your 1 zucchini sliced.

Finally, slice your mushrooms and add them to your baking dish too – easy!

Now, drizzle over that lovely olive oil and season with your salt and pepper.  Give everything a really good toss to coat all of your vegetables.

Pop your baking dish into the oven and roast your vegetables for 25-30 minutes.  Half through your cooking time, stir them round to make sure nothing is sticking and to cook evenly.  You want everything soft and lightly golden.

(If you wanted to cook this for breakfast super quick, you could now put your baking dish in the refrigerator at this point, ready for the next stage in the morning)

Next, in a bowl, add your eggs and your parsley.  Using a whisk, this one is so easy to use,  beat well.  You want it frothy and thoroughly mixed up.

Pour the egg mixture all over the vegetables and return the dish to the oven for a further 10 minutes.

(For 5 minutes longer if you are using your baking dish from the refrigerator)

Yummy!  So golden and delicious!

If you can wait, allow it to cool for 5 minutes as it will be easier to cut and serve, that’s enough time to grab a cup of coffee.

Serve 6 breakfasts, any morning of the week.

Can I Freeze Vegetable Bake?

Yes!  You can cook and freeze, ready to defrost overnight in the refrigerator, and then pop in the oven for 10-15 minutes to heat through thoroughly.

What Vegetables are Good for Breakfast?

Vegetables for breakfast are such a great idea and can give you some tasty fiber to start the day.

Use any of your favorite mushrooms – there are so many to choose from.  Any bell pepper would work so well!

You could add some juicy, fresh tomatoes to this bake too.  How about eggplant or sweet potato?

If you add harder vegetables such as squash, or sweet potato, you may need to give them a 10-minute head start in the oven as they take a little longer to cook.

Herbs are great for breakfast – fresh oregano and thyme are delicious here.

If you fancied a change, how about sprinkling over some shredded parmesan before baking with the eggs?
