- Preheat the oven to 190°C. Grease and line the base of a 20 cm sandwich tin.
- Heat the oil in a deep heavy-based frying pan. Gently cook the onions for 5 minutes until transparent, then add the capsicums and thyme. Add the garlic and cook for 20 minutes over a moderate heat, stirring occasionally.
- Add the olives and cheese to the vegetables, remove the thyme sprigs, if using fresh, and take the pan off the heat.
- Season the eggs with pepper, then stir into the vegetables and mix. Pour into the tin. Bake for 35 minutes until golden.
- Remove from the oven and rest for 3 minutes. Turn out onto a plate, then flip right side up. Cut into wedges to serve.
cook's tip
If you have any leftover fetta cheese, dice it finely with some stoned olives, drizzle with a little olive oil and chopped fresh herbs and use to fill hollowed-out cherry tomatoes. Serve as a nibble with drinks.
