Lemony Chickpea Casserole

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 190 degrees C (Gas Mark 5 / 375 degrees F).
2. 2
   Combine the drained chickpeas, diced onion, chopped parsley, crumbled stock cube, lemon juice, pine nuts and grated cheddar in a bowl, and stir to combine.
3. 3
   In a small bowl or mug, lightly beat the egg with the milk.
4. 4
   Transfer the chickpea mixture to a fairly small baking dish, and press it out so that it is evenly distributed across the dish.
5. 5
   Sprinkle liberally with black pepper.
6. 6
   Evenly pour over the egg mixture over the top of the chickpea mixture and top with the breadcrumbs.
7. 7
   Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
8. 8
   If you would like your breadcrumbs to be a little crispier, place the dish under the grill (broiler) for a couple of minutes at the end.
