Ingredients
Serves: 8
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
- 6 eggs
- 1 capsicum, diced
- 1 cup leftover Lucky Pig ham, chopped
- 1 cup potatoes, cooked and diced (roasted, boiled or leftover chips all work)
- Handful of button mushrooms, sliced (optional)
- Pumpkin, cooked and diced (roasted is ideal)

Method

- Add the capsicum, ham, potatoes, mushrooms (if using), pumpkin and parsley. Mix to combine.
- Heat a little oil or butter in an oven-safe frying pan over medium heat.
- Pour the mixture into the pan and cook for a few minutes until the edges begin to set.
- Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until just set and lightly golden on top.

Tips from the butcher
- This is a true clean-out-the-fridge recipe — swap in zucchini, spinach, onion or leftover roast veg.
- Perfect for breakfast, lunch or easy meals through the week.
