How to make these broccoli corn bars?

Preheat the oven to 180 deg c and line a 9×9 inch tin with baking paper. In a food processor add the broccoli, scallion, green chili, garlic, parsley and pulse until it is coarse. In a sauté pan on low to medium heat add 2 tsp olive oil, the coarsely ground veg, sweet corn and potato. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until soft. Take off the heat and allow to cool. In a large mixing bowl add the eggs, milk, yogurt, olive oil and whisk until smooth. Add the flour, herbs and baking powder, whisk until smooth. Add the broccoli mixture, feta, mozzarella and fold together until combined. Pour into the lined tin, top with the parmesan cheese and bake for 28-30 minutes or until set and the top is golden. Allow it to cool completely before cutting into bars.

Serving & storing these broccoli corn bars?

These bars are yummy cold or at room temperature. I would suggest serving it with herb cream cheese or labneh or better yet ketchup/hot sauce. Store the leftovers in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 6 days. When ready to eat, heat it in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.
