Yummiest Rice and Veggie bake ever!

I wanted some finger food for Little A, so I decided to make a veggie bake yesterday. It has all sort of yummy goodness in it and taste so very nice. 

Ingredients:

•   1/2 cup medium-grain rice
•   1 half pumpkin, grated
•   1 large zucchini, grated 
•   1/2 onion, chopped 
•   1/2 cup of mushrooms, chopped
•   1 cup of sweet potato, grated
•   1 cup grated tasty cheese 
•   1 Tsp of red Thai curry paste
•   3/4 cup self-raising flour
•   3 eggs
•   1/2 cup milk ( I used Oat Milk)

                         Method:

1. Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Grease a 3cm-deep, 20cm x 30cm (base) lamington pan. Line with baking paper, allowing 2cm overhang at long ends
2. Cook rice following packet directions. Drain. Cool for 20 minutes.
3. Cook onion and mushrooms in a small fry pan with the Thai paste till onions are translucent.  
4. Combine rice, sweet potato, pumpkin, zucchini, onions, mushrooms, cheese and flour in a bowl. 
5. Whisk eggs and milk together in a jug. Add to rice mixture. Stir to combine. Spread into prepared pan. Bake for 45 minutes or until lightly browned and cooked through. Stand in pan for 20 minutes. Cut into 16 pieces. Serve.

Little A loved this and so did I! Highly recommend it. If you wanted to add a bit a diced bacon to the mixture I think it would be even better!!
