Method

  1. Put 1 tbsp of the melted butter in a small pan over a low heat. Add the onion and leave to cook for five minutes, until soft. Set aside to cool a little.
  2. Tip all the dry ingredients into a large bowl. Stir together the yogurt, milk and eggs and then mix together with the dry ingredients until smooth.
  3. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Add the chilli to the mixture along with most of the cheese, the cooked onions and all of the melted butter. Stir until well combined.
  4. Spoon the mixture into a greased and lined 23cm (9in) cake tin and smooth over the surface with a spoon.
  5. Cook in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then sprinkle over the leftover cheese and return to the oven for 5-10 minutes until golden and cooked through. Leave in the tin for a couple of minutes, then turn out, cut into triangles and serve warm.
