Introduction

I found this recipe in a very old handwritten cookbook from Jamaica, left to me by great aunt. I was very scared to try this but its just superdoopa. Its a bit trial and error to get the oven right for your own oven. But this was made for an aga. Just keep checking after about 15 mins.

Ingredients

Serves: 4-6

2 teaspoons butter
½ cup grated Cheddar cheese
1 cup milk
3 eggs
chile (a small bit finely chopped)
½ small finely chopped onion
1 finely chopped scallion
salt (to taste)
pepper (to taste)

Lightly fry chopped onion, scallion and chile with butter. Do not fry until golden.

Beats eggs and combine all the ingredients in one bowl.

Grease a oven proof dish and pour mixture into same and bake (at well the recipe says 350 c whatever that is) for about 20 mins or less. Do not overbake.

It also says it is essential the mixture comes almost to the top of the dish. I just love my aunt's bossy instructions in the book.
