Ingredients

200 g 7 oz Shredded Melting Cheese
10 10 Slices Bacon, ham or turkey
50 g 3 1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
2 2 Large Eggs
240 ml 1 cup Milk
Salt and Black Pepper, to taste
1 tsp 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
Recipe directions
- Take the phyllo sheets and cut them into strips approximately 1 cm / ⅜ inch wide.
- Gently separate the strips so they don’t remain stuck together.
- Lightly drizzle a little olive oil into a 28 cm / 11-inch nonstick skillet.
- Arrange approximately half of the phyllo strips across the bottom, distributing them evenly to cover the surface.
- Set the remaining phyllo aside.
- Cut the bacon, ham, or turkey into small pieces.
- Spread the pieces evenly over the phyllo.
- Add a layer of shredded melting cheese, reserving some for later.
- Arrange the remaining phyllo strips over the cheese and bacon, covering the filling.
- In a bowl, combine the eggs, milk, remaining olive oil, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
- Whisk until well combined.
- Using a spoon, distribute the egg-and-milk mixture evenly over the phyllo.
- Make sure the liquid reaches different areas of the pan so the pastry cooks evenly.
- Place the skillet over low heat and cover it with a lid.
- Cook for approximately 5 minutes.
- Use a spatula to gently loosen the edges of the phyllo pizza from the sides of the pan.
- Sprinkle the reserved shredded cheese evenly over the surface.
- Place a large plate over the skillet and carefully invert the phyllo pizza onto the plate.
- Slide it back into the skillet so the uncooked side faces downward.
- Cover the skillet again and cook over low heat for another 5 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden, the cheese has melted, and the egg mixture is fully cooked.
- Transfer the skillet phyllo pizza to a serving plate.
- Cut into slices and serve warm.
- Alternative Oven Method
- You can also prepare this recipe in an oven-safe pan or baking dish. Bake at 200°C / 390°F, without flipping until the egg mixture is fully set and the phyllo is golden, checking regularly.
