600g Red kidney beans
1 Tbs Olive oil
2 Cups Chopped Leeks
1 ½ Cups thinly sliced mushrooms
1 Tbs chopped dill
1 tsp Dijon mustard
¼ Cup dry white cooking wine
4 large eggs
½ Cup grated cheese

Summary

1.  Preheat your oven to 180⁰C.

3.  Line an 8-inch baking tray with the baking paper, pressing the bean mash into the bottom and sides of the dish. Place the beans into the oven to dry out a little before adding the egg filling.
4.  In a saucepan heat the oil and sauté leeks, mushrooms, dill & mustard until tender. Remove from heat to cool slightly.
5.  In a mixing bowl beat the eggs, then add wine, breadcrumbs, most of the cheese and veggies. Add salt and pepper to taste.
6.  Pour the egg mixture into the bean base and sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
7.  Bake for 30-40 minutes or until set.
