Today I propose a simple and delicious recipe for a green onion and cheese cake, perfect for any occasion. This savory appetizer is ideal for a quick snack or to be served at festive events. Its pleasant aroma of green onions and the soft texture of the cheese will surely delight your guests.

Ingredients:

- 3 large eggs
- 200 ml of milk
- 100 ml of sunflower oil
- 200 g of flour
- 1 packet (10 g) of baking powder
- 150 g of grated cheese
- 100 g of finely chopped green onions (about 4-5 stalks)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 50 g of fresh dill, chopped, or 50 g of fried bacon, diced, for extra flavor

Preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare a loaf pan (about 25 cm long) by greasing it with a bit of oil and dusting with flour or lining it with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs well until fluffy. Add the milk and sunflower oil, continuing to mix until well combined.

3. In another bowl, combine the flour with the baking powder, salt, and pepper. It is important to sift the flour to avoid lumps and to achieve a light cake. Start gradually adding the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, gently mixing with a spatula or whisk.

4. Once the batter is smooth, add the green onions and grated cheese, gently folding them into the batter. If you choose to add dill or bacon, now is the time to include them.

5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and level the surface with a spatula. You can add a few slices of cheese on top for a more attractive appearance.

6. Bake the cake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes or until golden brown and passes the toothpick test (insert a toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean, the cake is done).

7. Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Serving suggestions:

The green onion and cheese cake can be enjoyed warm or cold, sliced thickly. It is excellent alongside a fresh salad or as part of an appetizer platter. You can experiment with different cheeses, such as goat cheese or feta, to diversify the flavors.

Variations:

For a healthier version, you can replace some of the flour with whole wheat flour. Also, if you are vegetarian, you can omit the bacon, and if you prefer a stronger flavor, add spices like cumin or sweet paprika.
