- Pour half of the prepared batter into the bottom of the dish.
- Evenly distribute your chosen savory filling over the base layer of batter.
- Cover the filling completely with the remaining batter.
- Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C (350°F) until golden brown and the center is firm to the touch. Baking time may vary depending on your oven and the size of your dish.
