Method
- If you are making veggie gravy, keep all the trimmings from the vegetables. Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/gas 4. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the pepper, leek, carrot, onion and celery and cook, stirring, for 8-10 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes; if they produce lots of juices, cook them out. Transfer to a large bowl.
- Fold in the egg, 150g of the cheese and 100g of the breadcrumbs. Mix well and season. Transfer to a greased, base lined 28.5cm x 13cm x 6cm deep loaf tin. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and breadcrumbs.
- Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour, until set and the top is golden. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then turn out, slice and serve with gravy.

Has anyone tried this with goats cheese? I am considering trying this with goats cheese, red pepper and red onion and would be interested to know if anyone has tried this or a similar variation.
This is really delicious. I made it for myself, as the only vegetarian in my family, and everybody wanted some with their dinner, so I only got a thin slice – lol! I’ve made it several times since though and it always turns out perfect.
