Ingredients
- 5 eggs, lightly beaten
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ cup gluten-free plain (all-purpose) flour
- 1 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder
- salt and pepper, as per taste
- 125 g ham, chopped
- 125 g corn kernels, drained (or thawed from frozen)
- 1 cup grated cheese
- 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).
