Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground black pepper.

  5. In a separate small bowl, beat the large egg with whole milk and chopped fresh parsley.
  6. For the egg and milk mixture into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined into a thick batter.
  7. Line a small baking dish (about 15x15 cm) with parchment paper and spread the batter evenly.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before cutting into squares.
  10. Serve warm as a cheesy baked appetizer.
