Fold in the diced ham, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions until evenly distributed in the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Allow the dish to cool slightly in the pan (about 10 minutes), then transfer it to a cutting board.

Step 9

Cut the baked squares into 9 even pieces. Serve warm or at room temperature.
