Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them until blended.
- Peel and slice the potatoes, then boil them in salted water until soft. Drain and mash.
- In a large bowl, mix the mashed potatoes with milk, whisked eggs, salt, pepper, flour, and baking powder until smooth.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper, drizzle with oil, and spread the potato mixture evenly on it.
Cooking
- Heat oil in a frying pan and sauté the chopped red onion and minced garlic until translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Add the diced chicken, grated carrot, sliced mushrooms, chopped bell pepper, and parsley to the pan. Season with black pepper, oregano, and smoked paprika. Stir well and cook for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
- Spread the mixture over the potato base and sprinkle with grated cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Serving
- For the sauce, combine sour cream, pressed garlic, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
- Cut the bake into slices and serve warm with the sauce on the side.
Notes
Using different vegetables like zucchini or spinach can add flavor and nutrition. For a vegetarian option, omit the chicken and add more mushrooms or beans. Any type of cheese can be used for customization; just ensure it melts well. Allow the dish to cool slightly before slicing for cleaner cuts.
