Butternut and feta egg cups

Ingredients

  • 500g butternut
  • 5ml (1 tsp) olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 large eggs
  • 80ml full-cream plain yoghurt
  • 10ml (2 tsp) finely chopped parsley
  • 5ml (1 tsp) dried rosemary
  • 5ml (1 tsp) onion powder
  • 2.5ml (½ tsp) paprika
  • 100g plain feta
  • Extra parsley for garnishing optional

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 200ºC and line a large tray with baking paper. Cut the butternut into 2cm cubes.
  2. Place in a bowl with the olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss together, then spread out on the tray.
  3. Roast for 25-30 minutes or until just tender. Set aside to cool.
  4. Place the eggs, yoghurt, parsley, rosemary, onion powder and paprika in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper and whisk together to combine. Crumble in the feta and add the butternut. Stir together.
  5. Reduce the oven temperature to 180ºC and grease a muffin pan well. Divide the egg mixture between the muffin cups.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes or until cooked through. Leave to stand for five minutes before removing from the tin. Sprinkle with extra parsley, if using, and serve.
