- Allow to cool slightly before removing from the tin. Serve warm or store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes
- You can customize with other vegetables like bell peppers or onions.
- Use egg whites or egg substitute for a lower-calorie version.
- Great for freezing – just reheat in the microwave before eating.
