Preparation method
- Blend the eggs, oil, grated cheese, milk, and chicken bouillon in a blender until smooth

- Grease a pan with oil and flour, pour in half of the batter, distribute the filling on top, and cover with the rest of the batter
- Finish the assembly by decorating with tomato slices, a pinch of oregano, and grated parmesan cheese to taste
- Preheat the oven to a high heat and bake the pie for approximately 35 to 40 minutes
- Check with a toothpick or fork after 35 minutes
- If it comes out clean, the pie is ready to be taken out of the oven
- Let the pie cool down for a few minutes before slicing to ensure it is well-structured when serving
