Method

  • step 1

    Heat a pan over a medium heat, fry the sausages until brown, then crumble.

  • step 2

    Add the vegetables and cook for 5 mins to soften.

  • step 3

    Put the egg whites and whole eggs in a bowl along with the basil, 1 tsp each of salt and ground black pepper, and whisk.

  • step 4

    Transfer the meat and vegetables to a 33cm x 23cm baking dish. Pour over the eggs and top with the feta.

  • step 5

    Bake at 200C/180C fan/gas 6 for 15 mins until set. Switch the oven to grill on high for 1 min or so to brown the top, if you like – watch it because it burns quickly. You can also make this ahead of time, store in the fridge uncooked and covered, and bake before serving.
