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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, beat the eggs until they are frothy and well-mixed.

Step 3

Gradually add the milk to the eggs while whisking continuously. This ensures a smooth mixture.

Step 4

Sift the flour into the egg and milk mixture, whisking to combine until there are no lumps.

Step 5

Stir in the bread crumbs, salt, black pepper, and fresh parsley, mixing until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Melt the butter and allow it to cool slightly before adding it to the mixture. Whisk to combine thoroughly.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the svitek is puffed and golden brown on top.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let it sit for 2-3 minutes before slicing into portions.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish to soups, meats, or as a light main course.
