Brown onions in pan, and then add brocolli. Whisk eggs together and add a bit of milk if you fancy, add salt and pepper, pour mixture into pan and cook - brown under grill to do the top if you want. Sprinkle cheese on top and melt under grill until bubbling.

Thanks, I have enough eggs to feed us all week so will scrape round the bottom of the fridge for veg and shovel it all in, ty

Make savoury pancakes (normal pancakes without sugar) which will use up your eggs. Then stuff with chicken, broccoli and either cheese or a cheese sauce/cream sauce. That is what I'm making on Tuesday. I don't really celebrate Shrove Tuesday but we had roast chicken yesterday and broccoli was cheap at Aldi and I looked at the meal planning diary and saw pancakes and thought--easy!

I would steam the brocolli and cook the chicken before mixing with suace/cheese--I don't want to patronise but I know cooking isn't your strong point Mardatha!

You wouldn't offend even if you printed it out in numbered steps and used only very short words. Cookery is NOT my strong point :rotfl::rotfl:
TY !

This is a useful website, just add whatever ingredients you've got in the cupboard and it will come up with a list of ideas.
Supercook: recipe search by ingredients you have at home

Another vote for cheese and broccoli quiche!

I have loads of plain and self raising flour in the cupboard. Is there anything I can use the plain flour for in a meal? I'm not that much of a baker - only bought it for pancake day.

You could make yorkshire puddings :-)

140g plain flour
4 eggs
200ml milk
Sunflower oil for the tray

Heat oven to 230C/fan 210C/gas 8. Drizzle a little sunflower oil evenly into 2 x 4-hole Yorkshire pudding tins or a 12-hole non-stick muffin tin and place in the oven to heat through.
To make the batter, tip 140g plain flour into a bowl and beat in four eggs until smooth. Gradually add 200ml milk and carry on beating until the mix is completely lump-free. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the batter into a jug, then remove the hot tins from the oven. Carefully and evenly pour the batter into the holes. Place the tins back in the oven and leave undisturbed for 20-25 mins until the puddings have puffed up and browned. Serve immediately. You can now cool them and freeze for up to 1 month.

I haven't done it for a few years but I used to make my own spring rolls by filling pancakes with finely chopped/sliced stir fried veg (carrot, cabbage and onion) then brush with soy sauce and baked in the oven. I still do my own stir fry, and also use finely grated onion and carrot to stretch Mr T. Value coleslaw. This is very runny stuff with lots of dressing - you can literally triple the amount of chopped/grated veg and still have enough dressing.
