Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 45-60 minutes
Total time: 1 hour and 15 minutes
Number of servings: 8-10

Ingredients:
- 6 eggs
- 200 ml milk
- 250 g flour
- 1 packet baking powder
- 50 g diced ham
- 150 g grated telemea cheese
- 100 g grated cheese
- 30 g parmesan
- 70 g pitted olives, chopped
- 1 small red bell pepper, diced
- 1 small yellow bell pepper, diced
- Salt and pepper to taste

Step 1: Prepare the ingredients
Start by preparing all the necessary ingredients. Make sure the eggs are at room temperature for easier beating. If you have saltier telemea or cheese, adjust the amount of salt in the recipe. It’s important to have all the ingredients at hand to make the cooking process as pleasant and quick as possible.

Step 2: Beat the eggs
In a large bowl, crack the 6 eggs. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, then pour in the milk. Use a whisk or mixer to beat the eggs together with the milk until the mixture is smooth and airy.

Step 3: Add the dry ingredients
Sift the flour together with the baking powder directly into the bowl with the egg mixture. Gently mix with a spatula or whisk, being careful not to form lumps. It’s essential to add the flour gradually to achieve a fine and uniform composition.

Step 4: Incorporate the cheeses
Now it’s time to add the cheeses. Start with the grated telemea, followed by the cheese and parmesan. Mix well so that the cheeses are evenly distributed in the mixture. They will not only add a fantastic flavor but also provide a soft and pleasant texture to the cake.

Step 5: Add the cold cuts and vegetables
Incorporate the ham, olives, red and yellow bell peppers. You can experiment with other cold cuts, such as sausages or salami, depending on your preferences or what you have in the fridge. Gently mix to avoid breaking the structure of the composition.

Step 6: Prepare the baking pan
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (low heat). Line a baking tray with parchment paper, ensuring it is well secured. This will help the cake release more easily after baking.

Step 7: Bake the cake
Pour the mixture into the prepared tray, leveling it gently with a spatula. Place the tray in the preheated oven and let the cake bake for 45-60 minutes. Check if it’s done by inserting a toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.

Step 8: Cooling and serving
Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the tray for 10-15 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. It’s important to wait for it to cool before slicing to get beautiful and even pieces.
