What do I need?
- 2 ½ cups self-raising flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 1/3 cups milk
- 1 medium carrot, peeled and grated
- 2 handfuls baby spinach, finely chopped
- 1 small brown onion, grated

- 2 tbsp flat-leaf parsley, chopped
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp spreadable cream cheese

How do I make it?
- Sift the flour into a large mixing bowl and season with salt and pepper. In a separate bowl whisk together eggs and milk before whisking into the flour to create a smooth batter.
- Add all the vegetables and parsley to the batter and mix well to combine.
- Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Spread heaped tablespoons of mixture in the pan to make individual veggiecakes. Cook until bubbles form before quickly flipping and cooking the other side. Repeat with remaining mixture. Set veggiecakes aside to cool.
- To serve, spread veggiecakes with cream cheese and sandwich together.
