A favourite in this household and a great way to add in extra vegetables and pulses into the diet of your whole family without them even knowing it! I always double up the ingredients when I make this and freeze the second one before cooking.

Instructions
White Sauce
Step 1
Remove the leaves and stalk from the cauliflower, chop into big bite size pieces and add to a saucepan and cover with boiling water. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until tender. Drain and then add the butter beans and mash or put into a food processor and blend until smooth-ish.
Step 2
Meanwhile add the butter to saucepan and melt gradually. Add in the flour and stir until combined. Gradually (100 ml at a time) whisk in the milk avoiding any lumps, over a low heat. Cook for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Step 3
Add the bean and cauliflower purée to the milk sauce along with the fish pie mix, sweetcorn, peas, mustard and season. Combine well.
Step 4
Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 12 minutes. Drain under cold running water and remove the shell. Cut in half and set aside.
Step 5
Add the fish pie mixture to a 3L baking dish and evenly space out the cooked eggs on the top. Gently push into the mixture until half immersed.
Mashed Potato
Step 6
Place the potato in a saucepan, pour over enough water to cover them. Bring to the boil and simmer until tender, approximately 15-20 minutes depending on the size of your potatoes.
Step 7
Remove from the heat, drain and mash until smooth. Add 15ml of milk, 15g butter and season with black pepper. And combine well by mashing.
Step 8
Add the mashed potato evenly to cover the top of the fish and egg mixture.
Step 9
Cook in an oven at 20-25 minutes on 180C until golden and bubbling at the edges.
Step 10
Serve with boiled carrots and broccoli or a choice of your vegetables.
