- Grease a baking dish with oil and flour, pour in half of the batter, distribute the filling on top, and cover with the remaining batter
- Finish the assembly by topping with tomato slices, a pinch of oregano, and grated parmesan cheese to taste
- Preheat the oven to high heat and bake the pie for approximately 35 to 40 minutes
- Check for doneness with a toothpick or fork after 35 minutes

- Let the pie cool down for a few minutes before slicing to ensure it is well-structured for serving
