Where to find ingredients
You can find all these pantry basics at any local supermarket like Woolworths, Pick n Pay, or Checkers. Look for mozzarella and deli ham in the refrigerated cheese and cold meats section. As a substitute for the Brazilian requeijão (if preferred in variations), you might consider cream cheese, though this recipe uses a classic ham and mozzarella base.
Preparation method
- Place the eggs, milk, oil, flour, baking powder, and salt into a blender.
- Blitz until you have a smooth, thin batter.
- Grease a baking dish with butter.
- Pour half of the prepared batter into the bottom of the dish.
- Distribute the mozzarella, ham, tomato, and onion filling evenly over the batter.
- Pour the remaining batter over the top to cover the filling.
- Finish by sprinkling the grated cheese and oregano over the top.
- Place into a preheated oven.
- Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until golden brown.
Observations
This recipe is an ideal choice for a quick snack or a fuss-free dinner. You will end up with a tender, flavourful pie that uses simple pantry staples you likely already have on hand.
