Proja (Serbian Cheese Cornbread)

Method

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 200°C with an oiled baking dish inside to heat up.

   💡 Preheating the oiled dish gives proja its fried-bottom crust.

2. 2

   Whisk the eggs, yogurt and oil together until smooth.

3. 3

   Fold in the cornmeal, flour and baking powder until just combined, then fold in the crumbled feta.

4. 4

   Carefully pour the batter into the hot oiled dish — it should sizzle at the edges.

5. 5

   Bake at 200°C until golden on top and set in the center, 30–35 minutes.

6. 6

   Rest a few minutes, then serve warm, torn not sliced, beside anything stewed.
