Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 large eggs
  • 75 g spring onion finely chopped
  • 1 medium chicken egg
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 300 ml kefir or thick yogurt
  • 200 g almond flour alternative: coconut flour
  • 2 tablespoons stevia or monk fruit sweetener optional, for added sweetness

Method
 

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a baking dish with a little olive oil or use parchment paper to prevent sticking. This ensures your creation comes out perfectly golden.
  2. Whisk the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, spring onion, and kefir (or yogurt). Make sure everything is well combined. Add the chicken egg, salt, and pepper to taste. This combination of eggs will help bind the dry ingredients and add richness to the texture.
  3. Incorporate the Dry Ingredients: Add the almond flour (or coconut flour), baking powder, and sweetener (if using). Mix well to ensure all ingredients are fully combined. The batter should be smooth and somewhat thick, resembling pancake batter.
  4. Pour into Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. This will help the dish cook evenly and provide a beautiful texture throughout.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for about 30-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let it Cool: Once out of the oven, allow the dish to cool slightly before serving. This helps it set and ensures the flavors meld together.

Notes

  • Customization: You can add extra flavors like herbs or spices, such as rosemary, thyme, or garlic powder, to suit your taste preferences.
  • Gluten-Free Option: This recipe is naturally gluten-free due to the use of almond flour, making it ideal for those with gluten sensitivities.
  • Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter version, increase the amount of stevia or monk fruit, or you can drizzle the dish with honey or maple syrup after baking for extra sweetness.
