It’s great straight from the oven with a fresh green salad for a family dinner, and also perfect chilled for a picnic or your next ‘bring a dish’ party.

- Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Blanch the broccoli florets for 2 mins in a pan of boiling water, then drain and set aside to cool slightly.
- Use the oil to grease a pie dish then layer slices of sweet potato to form a base. Halve some slices and place up the sides to form the edge of the pie ‘crust’. Bake for 15 mins, then remove from oven.
- Whisk the eggs and milk in a jug; season to taste. Add the broccoli, ham, chives and 60g of the cheese and pour the mixture over the sweet potato base.
- Scatter over the remaining cheese and bake for 50-55 mins until cooked through and golden.
- Leave to cool in the dish for 10 mins, then remove and cut into wedges to serve.
- Tip: This recipe works equally well with a variety of fillings – try swapping the ham and broccoli for shredded chicken and garden peas.
