Quick and Easy Skillet Snack

This easy skillet snack is perfect for a quick and delicious treat that can be ready in just 15 minutes. With simple ingredients and minimal effort, you can create a tasty snack that’s sure to satisfy your hunger.

Ingredients:

  • 1 egg
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano (seasonings to taste)
  • 50 milliliters milk
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1/2 cup wheat flour
  • Filling of your choice (e.g., chopped ham, grated mozzarella cheese, parsley)
  • Additional oil for greasing the pan

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Batter:

  • Beat the Egg: In a bowl, add 1 egg and beat it well to break up the film.
  • Season: Add a pinch of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of oregano to the egg, then mix well.
  • Add Milk and Oil: Pour in 50 milliliters of milk and 1 tablespoon of oil, then mix until well combined.
  • Add Flour: Gradually add 1/2 cup of wheat flour to the mixture, stirring continuously until the batter is smooth and homogeneous.

2. Prepare the Pan:

  • Grease the Pan: Lightly grease a frying pan with a little oil to prevent sticking.
  • Add Batter: Pour a little less than half of the batter into the pan, spreading it evenly to cover the bottom.

3. Add the Filling:

  • Layer the Filling: Add your desired filling on top of the batter. In this recipe, we use chopped ham and grated mozzarella cheese.
  • Add Herbs: Sprinkle some parsley or any other herbs you prefer on top of the filling for added flavor.

4. Add the Remaining Batter:

  • Cover the Filling: Pour the remaining batter over the filling, spreading it evenly to cover everything.

5. Cook the Snack:

  • Cover and Cook: Cover the pan and cook over low heat until the bottom is golden brown and the batter is set.
  • Flip the Snack: Once the bottom is cooked, carefully flip the snack to cook the other side. It should be easy to flip as it will be loose from the pan.
  • Cook Until Done: Continue cooking until both sides are golden brown and the snack is cooked through.

6. Serve:

  • Cut and Serve: Remove the snack from the pan, cut it into pieces, and serve hot.
  • Enjoy: Enjoy your quick and delicious skillet snack!
