Instructions

1
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F). Use a small amount of olive oil to lightly grease your baking dish, ensuring a non-stick surface for easier serving and cleaning.
2
Step 2
Place lentils in a pot with ample water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the lentils are tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain any excess water and set the lentils aside to cool slightly.
3
Step 3
While the lentils cook, peel and finely chop the garlic. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat, add the chopped garlic, and sauté until fragrant. Add the broccoli florets to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are bright green and tender.
4
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. Add the cooked lentils and broccoli to the egg mixture, stirring to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.
5
Step 5
Transfer the broccoli and lentil mixture to the prepared baking dish. Crumble feta cheese evenly over the top, then sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese.
6
Step 6
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bake is set. Remove from oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving warm.
