RECIPE

INGREDIENTS:

1 can (410g) KOO WHOLE KERNEL CORN, drained

1 onion, chopped

125ml (½ cup) milk

6 large eggs

45ml (3 tablespoon) olive oil

2 cloves garlic, crushed

5ml (1 teaspoon) ground coriander

100g (½ cup) grated cheddar cheese

5ml (1 teaspoon) ground cumin

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1 large tomato, peeled and diced

1 medium baby marrow, sliced

Method:

1.      Heat oil in an ovenproof frying pan or cast iron skillet; add onions, garlic, baby marrows, tomatoes, and KOO WHOLE KERNEL CORN to a cast iron skillet

3.      Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180 degrees C

4.      In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and 1/2 cup of milk

5.      Once the vegetables have cooked down and most of their juices have evaporated, sprinkle the cheese over the top

6.      Pour the egg and milk mixture into the pan. Move the vegetables around slightly with a fork or spoon to let the egg run underneath them

7.      Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and puffy
