  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 cups (200g) shredded cheese (cheddar or tasty cheese recommended)

  • 1 tsp dried oregano (or any herb of choice)
  • 1 tbsp garlic (minced)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup (250ml) milk

  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pepper.
  4. Stir in shredded cheese, green onions, oregano, and garlic.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sour cream, and melted butter.
  6. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.
