Sweet Corn and Broccoli Slice is a quick healthy recipe that makes a great lunch, dinner or between-meals snack! You can cut this slice into thin fingers for kids to munch on. Easy to make and perfect meal prep. This recipe is part of a series of healthy kids’ recipes made in collaboration with Australian Eggs.
Are you a broccoli lover or a broccoli hater? Although it’s often touted as an evil vegetable I feel like more and more people are joining team broccoli. Personally, it’s one of my favourite veggies (possibly a fave food, really)! Cheap, super nutritious and really versatile, I love it.
This sweet corn and broccoli slice uses finely chopped broccoli, tinned corn and an optional handful of cheese to create a delicious bake that’s perfect for lunches, dinner or even just a quick snack. The great thing about a slice is that you can cut it up into whatever portion size you need – which also makes it perfect for children because you can cut it into cute little fingers for them!
The key ingredient in this slice is Australian Eggs, of course; creamy, delicious, high in protein and wonderful at binding everything together. Eggs are an ideal protein to serve to everyone; they’re easily digested and offer all the essential amino acids we need for growth, development and repair.
What I also love about this slice is that there’s very little effort involved (I mean, who doesn’t love that about a recipe?!). You don’t have to cook the broccoli before it goes into the slice because it’s chopped finely, and of course tinned corn needs nothing done to it. Simply whisk together eggs, milk and flour and pop it all together ready for the oven.
