Preparation
- Line the bottom of a 20–22cm (8–9 inch) springform with parchment paper, leaving some overhang as the batter is very liquid and may spill. Preheat the oven to 220°C.
- Grate the cheese and take out the ham.
- Mix all the remaining ingredients in a large bowl for about one to two minutes.
- Pour half the batter into the prepared pan — it will be very liquid. Place the ham and cheese on top, then pour the remaining batter over.
- Bake for about 20–25 minutes, or until the top is golden. Wait a few minutes before releasing from the pan, and enjoy hot or cold with some fresh herbs.
