Ingredients

8 large eggs
½ cup ricotta or cottage cheese
salt to taste
1 cup cheddar cheese, good quality (75 grams)
½ onion finely diced
3 tablespoons flour (30 grams)
1 teaspoon baking powder (3 grams)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400F (200C).
In a large bowl, crack the eggs. Add the ricotta cheese, pinch of salt, cheddar cheese and onion. Mix well.
Add the flour, and baking powder, and mix well.
Line a 9x13 baking dish with parchment paper and pour in the egg mixture.
Spread the mixture out evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon and bake for 20-30 minutes or until set (the eggs should not jiggle). A skewer/fork/toothpick should come out clean once inserted.
Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes, slice, and enjoy!
