Ingredients
Basil Cake
For the crust, mix the flour and salt. Form a mound and create a hole in the middle. Crack egg into the hole and cut in butter. Mix with a fork or pastry blender. Knead into a smoth dough until no longer sticky, adding flour as needed. Shape into a ball, cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180 ° C (approximately 350 ° F).
Rinse basil, shake dry and coarsely chop the leaves. Peel the onion and chop finely.
Separate the eggs whites from yolks. Mix the yolks with the cheeses and basil mix. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Beat the egg whites and fold in.
Put the dough on a floured surface and roll out slightly larger than the shape of the pan. Press into greased baking pan. Pour in filling. Bake in oven for about 1 hour. If the crust starts to become too dark, cover with aluminum foil.
Remove from oven, allow to cool a little and release it from the pan. Cut into pieces and serve hot.
