This is a soft, airy baked dish made with eggs, yogurt, and self-raising flour. It rises gently in the oven and comes out like a light breakfast cake or soufflé-style bake.
🧾 Ingredients (with details)
1. Eggs – 4 large
- Provide structure and fluffiness
- Best if at room temperature (helps them mix better and rise more evenly)
2. Plain Yogurt – 1 cup (about 240g)
- Adds moisture and softness
- Greek yogurt = thicker, richer texture
- Regular yogurt = lighter and slightly more airy result
3. Self-Raising Flour – 1 cup (about 120–130g)
- Gives lift and structure
- If you don’t have it:
👉 mix 1 cup all-purpose flour + 1½ tsp baking powder + pinch of salt
🍽️ Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk (or fork, but whisk is better)
- Baking dish (8×8 inch / 20×20 cm or similar)
- Oven
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Oven
- Set oven to 180°C (350°F)
- Let it fully preheat (important for even rising)
Step 2: Prepare Baking Dish
- Lightly grease with butter, oil, or cooking spray
- You can also line it with parchment paper for easy removal
👉 This prevents sticking and helps clean slices come out neatly.
Step 3: Beat the Eggs
- Crack 4 eggs into a large bowl
- Whisk for 30–60 seconds until:
- yolks and whites are fully blended
- mixture looks slightly frothy
👉 This helps create air for fluffiness.
Step 4: Add Yogurt
- Add 1 cup yogurt into the eggs
- Whisk until completely smooth
- Make sure there are no lumps
👉 At this stage, the mixture should look creamy and thick.
Step 5: Add Flour Gradually
- Add self-raising flour slowly (not all at once)
- Whisk gently in circular motions
- Mix until just combined
⚠️ Important:
- Do NOT overmix
- Overmixing can make it dense instead of fluffy
👉 Final batter should be smooth, thick, and slightly pourable.
Step 6: Pour Into Dish
- Pour batter into prepared baking dish
- Use a spatula or spoon to level the top
- Tap the dish lightly on the counter 2–3 times to remove air bubbles
Step 7: Bake
- Place in preheated oven
- Bake for 25–35 minutes
How to know it’s done:
- Top is light golden brown
- Center is set (doesn’t jiggle much)
- Toothpick inserted in center comes out clean
👉 Avoid opening oven too early (first 20 minutes), or it may sink.
Step 8: Cool Before Cutting
- Let it rest for 5–10 minutes after baking
- This helps it firm up and slice cleanly
🍴 How It Should Look & Taste
- Soft and fluffy inside
- Slightly golden crust on top
- Mild flavor (eggy + creamy)
- Like a cross between baked omelet and soft cake
🍯 Serving Ideas
Sweet options:
- Honey or maple syrup
- Banana slices
- Strawberries or berries
- Powdered sugar dusting
Savory options:
- Cheese on top
- Black pepper + herbs
- Avocado slices
- Tomato and salt
💡 Pro Tips (important)
- ✔ Room temperature eggs = better rise
- ✔ Don’t overmix after flour is added
- ✔ Use thick yogurt for richer texture
- ✔ Bake immediately after mixing (don’t let batter sit long)
- ✔ If it sinks slightly after baking, that’s normal for this style
