Oven-Baked Ham and Cheese Pancake

Ingredients

• 200 g flour (all-purpose flour)
• 5 eggs (large eggs)
• 30 ml olive oil (olive oil)
• 600 ml milk (milk)
• green onions (a few leaves, chopped)
• 320 g cascaval cheese (semi-hard yellow cheese, divided)
• 200 g ham (ham, sliced or chopped)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a large baking tray with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, eggs, and olive oil. Mix until a thick paste forms.

3. 3

   Gradually add the milk and the chopped green onion leaves to the bowl. Whisk thoroughly until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the batter is smooth.

4. 4

   Pour the batter into the prepared baking tray, spreading it evenly to the edges.

5. 5

   Place the tray in the oven and bake at 180°C for 10 minutes to allow the base to set.

6. 6

   Remove the tray from the oven. Sprinkle half of the cascaval cheese over the surface, followed by a layer of ham, and then the remaining cascaval.

7. 7

   Return the tray to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and the edges are golden brown.

8. 8

   Serve warm.

Notes

Cașcaval is a traditional Romanian semi-hard cheese; you can substitute it with Gouda, Edam, or mild Cheddar if unavailable.
