Why this works

A filling, protein-rich bake with a good mix of vegetables, but it is moderately high in calories, saturated fat and sodium because of the cheese, eggs, vegetarian mince and added salt.

Protein and B12. Eggs, cheese, milk and vegetarian mince provide a substantial protein hit, with eggs and dairy also contributing vitamin B12.

Vitamin C and antioxidants. Peppers, spinach and onion boost vitamin C and provide protective plant compounds, supporting immunity and overall diet quality.

Calcium and iron. Cheddar, yoghurt and milk add calcium, while spinach and vegetarian mince may contribute iron, though absorption from plant sources varies.

Method

Preheat the oven to 190°C (Fan 170°C, 374°F, Gas Mark 5). Slice the potatoes and simmer for 8 minutes until just tender, then drain.
Cook the vegetarian mince with the mixed peppers for 8-10 minutes, then stir in the spinach and herbs until wilted.
Arrange the potatoes in a baking dish and add the vegetarian mince mixture over the top.
Whisk the eggs with Greek yoghurt and salt, then pour over the dish. Scatter with cheddar cheese and bake for 25-30 minutes until set and golden.
Leave to rest for 5 minutes and serve with lettuce.
