Guess what? Brownies don't just have to be a dessert food!
This delicious, cheesy and nutrient dense savoury slice is the perfect breakfast on the go, a great lunch box filler or a great 3pm pick me up to tide you over until dinner.
It can be adapted to whatever you have in the fridge and is also awesome with some diced olives and feta cheese (but I left these out in this version so they're super child friendly).
