The Egg Slice, Veggie Egg Casserole or Vegetable Frittata. Whatever you call it, it is undeniably one of our most well loved recipes. This is a versatile recipe in that you can mix and match ingredients. i.e. change the cheese to a Feta or Blue; add pumpkin, zucchini or squash; The ingredients aren’t the only things that are versatile with this recipe – you can pour the mixture into a muffin tin to make smaller individual servings or bake in a round or square casserole dish. We’ve even made this in a cast iron pan. We hope you enjoy this dish as much as we do!

Give your egg mixture a final whisk and pour the mixture over the vegetables. Stir briefly to distribute the mixture evenly across the pan.
