Carrot & Feta Loaf

Method

Pre-heat the oven to 160ºC fan bake and line a loaf tin with baking paper. 

Melt the butter in a medium sized pan over a low heat. Add the onions and gently fry for 8-10 minutes or until softened, stir regularly. 

In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. Add the diced onion and remaining loaf ingredients. Thoroughly stir to combine and pour into the prepared tin. 

Crumble over the feta and scatter the sunflower and sesame seeds on top. 

Bake the loaf for 55-60 minutes or until the loaf has risen and turned a golden brown. Test with a skewer to make sure it is cooked through. 

Carefully remove from the loaf tin and place on a wire rack to cool. The loaf will be easiest to cut when cooled to room temperature. 

To serve, melt the butter in a pan over a medium heat. Add thick slices of the loaf to the pan and fry until golden on both sides. 

Serve topped with sliced of avocado, hot sauce and finely grated parmesan.
