Savory ham and egg squares with bell pepper are a party treat baked on a sheet pan and cut into squares. Diced ham, red bell pepper, grated zucchini, and parsley are stirred into a thick batter of eggs, sour cream, flour, and baking powder, and everything is seasoned with thyme. The squares bake for 35 to 40 minutes at 180 °C (350 °F).

They taste good both warm and cold, so you can bake them ahead.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

  1. Dice the peppers and grate the zucchini. Mix the eggs with salt, sour cream, and the zucchini, then stir in the flour combined with the baking powder. Add the diced ham.

  2. Work the chopped vegetables and chopped parsley into the mixture, then season with salt, pepper, and thyme. If needed, add more flour; the mixture should be thicker than an ordinary batter.

    Grease a baking sheet or pan with butter, pour in the batter, and bake at 180 °C (350 °F) for 35–40 minutes.

  3. The squares taste good both warm and cooled.

Tip: The squares are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry, with no sticky batter. Cut them into squares only when lukewarm; hot, they crumble.
