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!
