This Cheese bread and butter healthy recipe isn’t what it seems – it’s called a bread and butter bake, but there’s no butter in sight.

Ingredients

3 eggs

2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

2 teaspoons oil

2 cloves garlic, crushed

1 teaspoon dried mixed herbs

7 slices day-old grainy bread

2 spring onions, finely chopped

1 red onion, chopped

1 cup trim milk

2 teaspoons mustard

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Method

Step 1 Preheat oven to 190°C. Soften onions in a non-stick pan with oil. Add garlic and herbs. Cook for a few more minutes.

Step 2 Arrange half in a lightly greased, large ovenproof dish. Cut bread in half. Scatter over onions. Add the remaining bread.

Step 3 Beat eggs together with mustard, paprika and milk. Pour over bread and press down. If you have time, leave to stand for 10 minutes.

Step 4 Sprinkle with parmesan, then bake for 25 minutes. Serve garnished with fresh basil.
