Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup (100 g) shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese

Instructions
- Preheat the oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

- Stir in the shredded cheese.
- Fold in the self-rising flour until no dry streaks remain. Do not overmix.
- Bake
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Serve
- Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm on its own or with fresh fruit, yogurt, or salsa.
Optional Add-Ins

- Diced bell peppers
- Green onions
- Spinach

- Black pepper or paprika
Tips
- For the fluffiest texture, whisk the eggs well before adding the other ingredients.
