and then gradually pour in the milk, always stirring with a whisk 7. At this point, add the eggs, a little at a time to avoid forming lumps 8, and continue to mix until you get a smooth and uniform mixture. Pepper it 9,

salt it 10, incorporate the filling of ham, cheese, and tomatoes 11, and mix once more to combine 12.

Butter and flour a 7-inch diameter cake pan, then pour the mixture in and gently shake the pan to level it 13. Bake the 5-minute savory pie in a preheated static oven at 356°F for 30 minutes. Once baked, take the pie out of the oven 14, let it cool slightly, and then remove it from the pan to serve it 15.
