Ingredients

▢ 5 (5) eggs, lightly beaten
▢ ¼ cup (0.25 cup) milk
▢ ½ cup (0.5 cup) gluten-free plain (all-purpose) flour
▢ 1 teaspoon (1 teaspoon) gluten-free baking powder
▢ salt and pepper, as per taste
▢ 125 g (4.41 oz) ham, chopped
▢ 125 g (4.41 oz) corn kernels, drained (or thawed from frozen)
▢ 1 cup (1 cup) grated cheese
▢ 2 cups (2 cups) cooked white rice (cooled)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F). Grease and line a rectangular baking dish (approx. 20x30cm) with baking paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the 5 eggs, and ¼ cup milk.
Sift in the flour and baking powder, then season with salt and pepper. Stir until smooth.
Add the chopped ham, corn, cooked rice and most of the cheese. Mix until well combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle on the remaining cheese.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until golden on top and set in the middle.
Allow to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or cold.

Notes

Milk – I use full-fat milk, but you could also use low-fat or an alternative to milk here too.

Gluten-Free Flour - any brand of gf plain/all-purpose flour will work in this recipe. If using gf self-raising flour, you can skip the baking powder as your flour mixture should already contain it.

Rice - cold rice is a must here. If you try and use warm rice, it will clump together.

Salt – you don’t need much salt, as the ham and cheese also provide some saltiness.

Storage – keeps up to 3 days in the fridge, or can be frozen for up to 3 months (allow to cool, wrap, and then place in an airtight container).
