Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at any major UK supermarket. Look for 'plain flour' in the baking aisle, and 'mozzarella' and 'cooked ham' in the chilled deli or cheese sections. For the topping, mature Cheddar makes a great local substitute for the traditional hard cheese if preferred.
Preparation method
- Place the eggs, milk, oil, flour, baking powder and salt into a blender.
- Blend the ingredients until you achieve a smooth, liquid batter.
- Grease a baking dish with butter.
- Pour half of the batter into the base of the prepared dish.
- Evenly layer the mozzarella, ham, tomatoes and onions over the batter.
- Pour the remaining batter over the top to cover the filling.
- Sprinkle with the grated cheese and a pinch of dried oregano.
- Place the dish into a preheated oven.
- Bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
