A Uruguayan pie with ham and cheese — a tender, juicy pastry with a crispy crust. It comes together quickly and is equally delicious served hot or cold.

Ingredients

150 g Cheddar cheese
200 g Ham
3 pcs Eggs
100 ml Vegetable oil
240 ml Milk
120 g Wheat flour
2 tsp Baking powder
1 tsp Salt
to taste Dried oregano

Instructions

Line the bottom of a 20–22 cm springform pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang along the edges — the batter will be liquid and may overflow. Preheat the oven to 220 °C.
Grate the cheese on a coarse grater and cut the ham into small pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, flour, baking powder, salt, and oregano. Beat for about one and a half minutes until smooth.
Pour half of the liquid batter into the prepared pan. Distribute the ham and cheese evenly over it, then carefully pour the remaining batter on top.
Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown on top. Let the pie cool for a few minutes, then carefully remove it from the pan. Serve hot or at room temperature garnished with fresh herbs.
