Servings:
4
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup pork loin, cooked and shredded
  • 1 cup ham, diced
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup bell peppers, diced (optional for extra flavor)
  • 1 cup onion, diced (optional for extra flavor)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Prepare the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.

    Sift the flour for a lighter texture.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until well combined.

    Make sure the eggs are at room temperature for better mixing.
  4. Combine All Ingredients

    Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture, followed by the pork, ham, cheese, and optional vegetables.

    Do not overmix; fold gently to keep it fluffy.
  5. Prepare the Baking Dish

    Grease a baking dish with olive oil and pour the mixture into it.

    Use parchment paper for easier removal.
  6. Bake

    Place the dish in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown.

    Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center.
  7. Cool and Serve

    Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

    Serve with a side salad for a complete meal.
