Servings:  6 to 8 Ingredients: 2 lbs carrots, peeled and grated 1 large onion, peeled and grated 2 cloves garlic, grated or finely chopped 2 ½ oz low-fat cheddar cheese, grated 1/3 cup canola oil 3 eggs, lightly beaten 1 tsp ground nutmeg salt freshly ground black pepper 1 Tbsp fresh thyme leaves, or 1 tsp dried ½ cup self-rising flour Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Lightly oil a 12-inch round shallow quiche or pie dish.  Grate the carrots, onion, garlic and cheese (using the grating disc of your food processor makes this step quick and easy).  In a large mixing bowl beat together the oil, eggs, nutmeg, salt and pepper, and thyme leaves.  Stir in the flour until combined, then add the carrots, onion, garlic and cheese.  Spoon into the prepared dish and bake for 45 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
