  • In a bowl, whisk eggs, cheese, milk, ground paste, salt and pepper. Keep aside.
  • Heat pan and add a tablespoon of oil/butter to pan and melt. Add onions and fry till translucent, not brown in colour. Add vegetables of your choice, salt and pepper and cook till the veggies become tender.
  • Add the egg mixture evenly. Cook in medium low flame. Once the edges leave the sides or when the egg mixture is not very loose then place it in the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the edges turn light brown. You can add grated cheese on top immediately after you remove from oven. Cool completely before serving.

Notes

* To bake in a Muffin Pan: Grease the tray with butter or cooking spray. Place the cup liner or pour the mixture into the cups. Sprinkle cheese and bake for 17-20 mins. It takes less time when baking in the muffin tray. So please check in between.
* You can use any vegetables of your choice – broccoli, mashed potatoes, mushroom, cauliflower, eggplant, tofu, etc
You can use chopped meat of your choice – chicken, ham, steak, bacon, sausage, etc
6 eggs would go on a 10 inch pan. If the vegetables are more, then use a 12 inch pan.
