Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 6oz (180gr) ham, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 cup peas, frozen, no sauce
  • 4oz (125gr) pimento or roasted red pepper, cut into strips
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 cup (2oz, 60gr) shredded cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup flour
  • pinch nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 4 tsp olive oil

Instruction

  • Heat 2 tsp olive oil in medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add onion, ham and sauté until onion is tender.
  • Add peas and heat through.
  • Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In medium bowl lightly beat eggs with wire whisk.
  • Add milk, flour, salt and nutmeg.
  • Whisk lightly to just combine; a few lumps are okay – over-beating is not.
  • Put remaining 2 tsp olive oil in 10-inch glass baking dish and run it around to coat the bottom. Pour in the batter mixture.
  • Spoon ham and peas onto the batter to within 1 inch of sides of dish.
  • Sprinkle with basil.
  • Lay the pimento strips across the top and sprinkle with cheese.
  • Bake at 425F (215C) for 30 minutes or until edges puff up and are golden brown.
  • Remove and let rest a minute or 2.
  • Cut into wedges and serve.
