Ingredients
- 12 slices wholemeal bread
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped or 1 teaspoon crushed garlic
- 200g middle bacon, chopped
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 can creamed corn
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- salt and pepper
- ½ cup cheese, grated
- 2 carrots, grated
- 1 beetroot, grated
- ½ cup raisins (optional)
- 4 tablespoons sunflower seeds (optional)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar or lemon juice
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease 12 medium-size muffin cups. If you don’t have muffin trays, read the tip at the bottom for how else you can make this.
- Roll the bread out gently with a rolling pin (or glass bottle), then press the slices carefully into the muffin tray to form cups.
- Bake the bread cases for about 10 to 15 minutes in the oven until they are starting to go crispy.
- While the bread is baking, heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat.
- Add the onion and cook for five minutes or until the onion is soft and clear.
- Turn up the heat on the frying pan and then add the garlic and bacon and fry until the bacon is cooked.
- Add the frozen mixed vegetables to the pan and cook for five minutes until the frozen vegetables have thawed. Make sure to stir well.
- Tip the bacon mixture into a bowl. Add the creamed corn and beaten eggs. Season with salt and pepper and mix well.
- Spoon the mixture into the bread cases, filling them with as much mixture as possible. Sprinkle over the grated cheese.
- Bake the bread cases in the oven for 20 – 30 minutes until the mixture is set and the cheese has melted.
- While the cases are baking, make the raw energy slaw by combining the grated carrots, beetroot, raisins, sunflower seeds, salt, pepper, oil and vinegar or lemon juice in a bowl. Mix well to combine.
- Serve the bread cases with a side of raw energy slaw.
