Preparation:
  1. Mix all the above ingredients in a large bowl; do not chop the cheese too much — it is better when larger pieces remain. Grease a baking tray (or molds and muffin tins, which I often use) with melted margarine and hand out the dough.

  2. Bake for 30 minutes in a preheated oven, first 10 minutes at 200 °C and then another 20 minutes at 180 °C. Check the dough with a toothpick.

  3. When done, cover with a clean cloth and leave to cool for 10–15 minutes and serve.
