This Baked Mexican Frittata with Beans can be more than just a great breakfast or brunch. It's a quick and easy one-tray bake, gluten-free meal for lunch or dinner and an excellent way to meal prep for the week as a healthy and hearty meal on the go! It's rich in protein, fibre, and especially vitamins and minerals. What is a Frittata? A frittata is an egg-based Italian dish, where the eggs are whisked, added to a frying pan, and slowly cooked. The frittata is flipped over and then finished under the grill to set. There are many variations of frittata, including adding vegetables, cheese, and protein. As a healthier option to frying, some frittatas are baked, as is in this recipe (though this is not done traditionally). Watch How to Make It Why make this Baked Mexican Frittata? Easy and quick to make as it only needs 10 minutes to preparation It's an all-in-one tray bake recipe Simple straight forward ingredients: nothing fancy or fussy Healthy, nutritious, and suits a gluten-free, vegetarian, and grain-free diet It can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's a great MEAL PREP option. It stays well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Helpful Tips Customise your choice of vegetables A few vegetable swaps or add-ins can customise your frittata to suit your tastebuds. Some of these include red capsicum, zucchini, green beans, mushroom, asparagus, canned corn, and peas, plus, the black beans can be swapped with red kidney beans or pinto beans. Use quality eggs If possible, use the best eggs you can afford. Local, organic and/or pasteurised and free range have exceptional clean flavour and are high in vitamins and minerals. Season well Don't be afraid to season the frittata well. There are only a few ingredients and seasoning is essential. Think how much salt and pepper you would add to one fried egg and times that by eight. Add yoghurt for a creamier frittata Some people prefer a frittata similar in texture to an omelette which means no yoghurt is added. However, if you prefer a creamy texture, I suggest adding a tablespoon of Greek or natural yoghurt to the mixture. Simply add a dollop and using a fork, swirl it through, in and among the eggs.

These gluten-free Nutella Stuffed French Toast Bites are a game changer! The combination of slice bread stuffed with Nutella, then dipped into a vanilla custard, lightly fried, and then coated in cinnamon sugar is decadent, delicious, and addictive. It is the perfect recipe for a weekend brunch, a fun sweet treat, or a special occasion dessert. What is French Toast? French Toast is bread dipped in a batter of egg and milk and then lightly fried until golden. It is then topped with syrup, sugar, and cinnamon. It is a popular breakfast or brunch dish, often served in cafés. Traditionally, stale bread was used to make this dish as a way of using old bread that would have otherwise been thrown out. Today, it is seen as a decadent, elegant and luscious brunch staple. Watch How to Make It Helpful Tips Bread I recommend using gluten-free bread that is thick, spongy, and a few days old. Stale bread works best, however, it is not a necessity. Egg and Milk Mixture To avoid random bits of white egg or yolk, make sure the egg and milk mixture has been whisked well. Also, when dunking the bread bites into the mixture, make sure this is only for a few seconds a side to avoid making the French toast soggy. Nutella Make sure that the Nutella has been spread all the way to the corners of the bread so every bite has Nutella. Dairy Free Options It may seem impossible, but this recipe can be made dairy free. Simply swap Nutella for a vegan option chocolate spread along with the milk and butter. Here is what I have used: Pana Organic Chocolate Spread Nuttelex Butter Almond Milk Other Breakfast Ideas Cinnamon Banana Bagels Layered Granola and Yogurt Jars Ham and Mushroom Quesadilla Baked Eggs in a Bagel Hole Halloumi Muffins All Breakfast and Brunch Ideas Nutella Stuffed French Toast Bites, Gluten-Free Serves 4 Prep 5 minutes Cook 12 minutes French Toast: 8 slices gluten-free bread (I used TipTop Gluten-Free ) 4 tablespoons Nutella (vegan alternative for dairy free) 2 eggs ½ milk (soy or almond milk for dairy free) ½ teaspoon vanilla essence 2 tablespoons butter (vegan alternative for dairy free) Coating: 1/5 cup caster sugar 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Toppings: Banana and blueberries Maple syrup Almond flakes INSTRUCTIONS 1.

Cut off the crusts of the bread and then spread a thin layer of Nutella across one side of the bread. Bring together two slices of bread, creating a sandwich. Cut the sandwich into quarters. Repeat with the other slices of bread. 3. Take the sandwich quarters and dip them into the egg mixture. In a large pan, over medium heat, melt the butter. Place the soaked bread in the pan and cook for about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining bread. 4.

This Apple and Rhubarb Crumble is the perfect balance between sweet and tart, creamy and crumbly. The sweet apples, and tart rhubarb, gently cook to create a creamy texture, whilst the combination of quinoa flakes, coconut, and gluten-free fried noodles create a unique-tasting crunchy crumble that you will find delicious and addictive. It's easy, quick to bring together, and a winter dessert favourite. What is an Apple and Rhubarb Crumble? Apple and Rhubarb Crumble is a sweet dessert made from fruit that is baked into a warm sweet mixture and traditionally covered in a mixture of flour, butter, oats, and sugar. This gluten-free version is slightly different as the crumble topping is made with gluten-free ingredients that include quinoa flakes, desiccated coconut, and gluten-free fried noodles. These ingredients take the place of the traditional ingredients but are surprisingly similar in taste and texture. Watch How to Make It How Do you Make Gluten-Free Apple and Rhubarb Crumble 1. Prepare the apples and rhubarb: Peel the apples and dice them, making sure they are all similar in size. Remove the leaves of the rhubarb as only the stems are used. Wash and cut them into the same size pieces as the apples to ensure everything is cooked evenly. For this recipe, I would recommend approximately 2-3cm cubed. 2. Prepare the fruit mixture: In the baking dish combine the apples, rhubarb, caster sugar, orange juice, and vanilla and bake in a preheated oven. 3. Prepare the crumble topping: In the meantime, whilst the fruit is cooking, in a bowl combine all the ingredients for the crumble topping. There is no need to chop anything, only melt the butter which brings the ingredients together. 4. Add the crumble to the fruit and bake: Once the fruit mixture has cooked, place the crumble topping over it and bake again. 5. Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven and allow the Apple and Rhubarb Crumble to sit for 5 minutes before serving. Place in the center of the table and with a large serving spoon, scoop into bowls. Helpful Tips Help! I can't find Chang's Gluten-Free Fried Noodles. What else can I add? Don't worry! You can add crushed nuts instead. Crushed pecans or walnuts should work well or even sliced almonds will do the trick. I don't like rhubarb, what else can I add? I have made this recipe using large strawberries sliced in half and it is delicious! However, they must be fresh and not frozen. What do I do with leftovers? Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days and it is deliciously reheated in the oven. Some may say that crumble is best baked the same day it is served, however, funnily, my children loved it the next day cold, straight out of the fridge!

This 'Steamed' Fish in Oyster Sauce is a waterless way to steam-cook fish. All you need is a handful of ingredients and a pan with a lid. The fish becomes tender and flaky and the oyster sauce enhances its flavour. It is ready in less than 15 minutes and when served with rice and Asian greens, it's an impressive-looking dish. Let's begin! What is 'Waterless' Steaming? The term waterless steaming is the opposite of traditional steaming. In traditional steaming, there is a pot of boiling water that produces steam to cook the food. In waterless steaming, the water is absent. Instead, the liquid in the food itself is dispersed and the food steams itself. The food remains moist and the flavour is retained, creating a juicy and flavourful meal. Watch How to Make It How do you make Steamed Fish in Oyster Sauce? These are the steps taken to cook the rice, fish and bok choy, all within 30 minutes. First, make sure you have all your ingredients prepared and in front of you. 1. Cook the Rice: If you are going to cook the rice from scratch (alternatively you can use microwave-ready rice), then this would be the first step. To make my rice, it needs 5 minutes boiling and 15 minutes steaming time. During the time the rice is steaming, you can cook the fish and bok choy. Recipe for RICE. 2. Combine the marinade: Combine the ingredients for the marinade in a wide bowl that will fit the fish. Place the fish into the bowl and turn the fish over to coat both sides. While this is marinating, cook the bok choy. 3. Cook the Bok Choy: Add to a pan or wok the vegetable oil and cook the garlic before adding the remaining ingredients. Stir fry over high heat for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat and serve on a platter. 4. Cook the Fish: Saute the onion and garlic and then place the fish over the onions. The fish does not touch the pan directly. Pour over the marinade and "Shaoxing Wine" and place the lid onto the pan. Steam for a few minutes. Do not remove the lid. Check if the fish has been cooked and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. 5. Bring it together: Serve in shallow bowls. Place the rice first, then top with the bok choy and fish. Serve immediately. Helpful Tips What type of fish should I use? Choose a firm but flaky fish such as seabass, snapper, cod, bream, barramundi or ocean perch. The best source of fresh fish fillets is from your local fish market. Do not use tuna or swordfish as it dries out and avoid oily fish like salmon and trout. Can I use Shaoxing Wine if I'm NOT on a Gluten Free diet? Yes! Traditionally Shaoxing Wine is used for this recipe, however, since there is wheat present in Shaoxing Wine, I have come up with an alternative for those on a gluten-free diet. Instead of Shaoxing Wine, simply combine 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon of rice wine vinegar and 1 teaspoon of fine (caster) sugar.

This healthier twist on a classic Chinese dish makes my Kung Pao Cauliflower Bake perfect for the whole family. It's a blend of baked cauliflower and capsicum tossed in a sweet and sticky Kung Pao Sauce. It's nutrient-packed, mouth-watering, and the perfect meat-free Monday meal. Best of all it's gluten-free, dairy-free, grain-free, perfect as meal prep and cooks in 30 minutes. What is Kung Pao Cauliflower? Traditional Kung Pao is made with chicken. It is a delicious stir fry, often deep fried, has a large loading of sugar, is not very healthy, and is not gluten-free (due to the Shaoxing Wine). For this reason, I have put together a healthier version that is flavourful, easy to make, with minimal mess, and nutrient dense. My Kung Pao Cauliflower Gluten-Free keeps much of the flavours of the original recipe and keeps it simple enough as an option for the working week. Watch How to Make It How Do You Make Kung Pao Cauliflower Gluten-Free? It only takes a few main steps to cook this delicious tray-bake recipe: Prepare the Cauliflower and Capsicum and Bake: Place the cauliflower and capsicum onto a lined tray. Season well and spray with cooking oil. Place into a preheated oven for 20 minutes. Make the Kung Pao Sauce: Combine all the ingredients to create the sauce and prepare the garnish (optional to cook Rice at this stage). Coat the cauliflower and capsicum: Remove the tray from the oven and pour the sauce over the vegetables. Toss well to coat the vegetables and return to the oven for a further 10 minutes. Garnish and serve! Garnish with green onions, crushed peanuts and serve! Helpful Tips Cauliflower Cut the cauliflower into bite-size florets. This way it will cook evenly with the capsicum and will crisp up. Kung Pao Sauce If you find there is not enough sauce because the cauliflower is too large (I used a small cauliflower), then increase by 25-50% the ingredients of the sauce based on the size of the cauliflower.
