Ingredients

300 g Onions
50 ml Corn oil
2 Stück Eggs
300 ml Milk
100 g Corn
250 g Corn flour
1 TL Baking powder
Salt
Pepper
250 g Mild cheese

Instructions

1. Peel the onions, cut them in half, and slice them into fine strips.
2. Heat the oil in a pan and sauté the onions until translucent (do not let them brown).
3. Thoroughly grease a baking dish (approx. 20x20 cm) with a little oil. Preheat the oven to 180 °C (top/bottom heat).
4. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Then stir in the milk, sautéed onions, and optional corn.
5. Mix the baking powder with the corn flour and gradually incorporate it into the liquid until a thin batter forms. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Fold the cheese in large pieces into the batter.
7. Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes to allow the flour to swell.
8. Pour the batter into the prepared dish and bake for about 35 minutes until the bread is golden brown. Perform a toothpick test before removing from the oven.
