Where to find ingredients
You can find wheat flour, milk, oils, and canned proteins at local markets and grocery stores. Fresh eggs and grated cheese are widely available in the dairy and refrigerated aisles of any local retailer. If you cannot find a specific cheese, a standard hard salty cheese serves as a great substitute.
Preparation method
- In a blender, pulse all the crust ingredients until you achieve a smooth, uniform mixture, ensuring any eggy aroma is neutralized.
- Grease a baking tin thoroughly with butter and dust lightly with wheat flour.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking tin.
- Spread your chosen filling evenly over the bottom layer of batter.
- Cover the filling completely with the remaining batter.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C until golden brown and the crust is firm; baking time may vary based on your oven and the size of the tin.
