1 tablespoon of Greek yogurt

Directions

Prepare the Filling:

Cook the Eggs:

Place 4 eggs in a pot, fill with water, and cook until hard-boiled (about 10 minutes). Once cooked, remove the eggs from the pot, let them cool, peel, and chop them.

Mix the Filling:

In a large bowl, combine the chopped hard-boiled eggs, 150 grams of chopped green onions, 100 grams of grated cheese, a pinch of salt, and 1 tablespoon of Greek yogurt. Mix everything thoroughly. Your filling is now read

Prepare the Batter:

Mix the Batter:

In a separate bowl, beat 3 eggs. Add 250 grams of Greek yogurt and mix well until fully combined.

Add 100 grams of rice flour, a pinch of salt, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder. Stir until the batter is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.

Assemble the Casserole:

Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a baking dish with olive oil to prevent the casserole from sticking.

Layer the Casserole:

Pour half of the egg mixture into the greased baking dish. Spread the prepared egg filling evenly over the egg mixture. Pour the remaining half of the egg mixture over the filling and spread it out evenly, ensuring the filling is well-covered.

Garnish:

Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top of the casserole for a nice crunch and added flavor.

Bake the Casserole:

Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set. The center should be firm to the touch and the top slightly crispy.

Serve:

Allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving. This dish can be served hot or warm.

Serving Suggestions This Egg and Greek Yogurt Casserole is delicious on its own, but it also pairs wonderfully with a fresh green salad to balance the richness of the dish. You can also serve it alongside some roasted vegetables or grilled meats for a more substantial meal. For a lighter breakfast or brunch, pair it with some fresh fruit and whole grain toast.

Cooking Tips

If you prefer a creamier texture, feel free to add more Greek yogurt to the batter or the filling.

Be sure to cook the eggs properly and allow them to cool before chopping to avoid any unwanted mess during the mixing process.

For a more flavor-packed casserole, try adding some garlic or herbs such as thyme or rosemary to the filling mixture.
