Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a small baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.

  2. Step 2

    In a bowl, mix the 1 cup flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir in the 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.

  3. Step 3

    Add the 1/2 cup milk and stir until a soft dough forms. If it's too sticky, add a little more flour.

  4. Step 4

    Shape the dough into a ring on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a 3-inch hole in the center. Crack the 1 egg into the hole.

  5. Step 5

    Bake for 15-18 minutes, until the dough is golden brown and the egg white is set but the yolk is still soft. Let cool for 2 minutes before serving.
