Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 250 ml Milk
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 20 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs until they are frothy and well-mixed.
Gradually add the milk to the eggs while whisking continuously. This ensures a smooth mixture.
Sift the flour into the egg and milk mixture, whisking to combine until there are no lumps.
Stir in the bread crumbs, salt, black pepper, and fresh parsley, mixing until evenly distributed.
Melt the butter and allow it to cool slightly before adding it to the mixture. Whisk to combine thoroughly.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the svitek is puffed and golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and let it sit for 2-3 minutes before slicing into portions.
Serve warm as a side dish to soups, meats, or as a light main course.
