You will need

Large saucepan - We know this one is on the pricey side but it's SO worth it. Made from sturdy stainless steal and designed with a fully encapsulated aluminium base, it also features convenient 'stay cool' knobs and handles. Get it at Amazon for £40.

Ovenproof dish - This white Mason Cash stoneware is ideal for baking and roasting as it's durable and resistant to heat and breakage. You can find it at Amazon for £12.86.

Tips

It takes a little time to prepare the first time you make it, but if you make a large batch in a big dish, you can freeze it in portions and is scrumdiddlyumptious when heated up again in the microwave (you can heat it straight from frozen - perfect for busy mid-week dinners). It's also yummy with baked beans!

Mild Cheddar won't give a very cheesy flavour - we recommend mature Cheddar for the best taste. And for a even cheesier finish, sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on top just before it goes into the oven.

Remember that kids under five should never have large chunks of nuts, as they can be a choking hazard.

Variations

You can use absolutely any vegetables you want in this delicious crumble. Look for what's in season to find the cheapest buys and the best, freshest taste! Options include: mushrooms, peppers, courgettes , broccoli, cabbage, pumpkin, sweet potato, aubergine... just use whatever you have to hand (perfect for using up leftovers!)

You can also bulk this dish up even further by adding in some cooked pasta for a delicious vegatable pasta bake.

Love a bit of crunch? Try adding some oats into the topping!

This is really easy and the cheesy topping makes it tasty enough that the kids will actually eat some veg! I sometimes add a bit of mozzarella in with the veg to give it a great gooey texture.
