- 50 ml (1/4 cup) of milk
- 5 tablespoons of flour
- 5 grams (1 teaspoon) of baking powder
- 200 grams (1 cup) of your favorite cheese, grated (such as cheddar or mozzarella)
For the Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons light mayonnaise

Directions:
- Prepare the Vegetables:
- In a large bowl, combine the finely chopped leek, grated carrot, chopped bell peppers, grated potatoes, and shredded cabbage. Add the chopped parsley and dill. Mix thoroughly.
- Make the Batter:
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with milk, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add the flour and baking powder, whisking until smooth to avoid lumps.
- Combine and Layer:
- Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables, ensuring all are evenly coated. Add the grated cheese and stir to distribute it throughout the mixture.
- Bake the Casserole:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a large baking dish with a little oil or butter. Pour the vegetable and egg mixture into the dish, spreading evenly.
- Place in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Prepare the Sauce:
- While the casserole is baking, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, and minced garlic. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- Serve:
- Once the casserole is done, let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve each portion with a dollop of the creamy dill sauce and a sprinkle of fresh dill for garnish.
