The quantities follow this count.

1 cup all-purpose flour
1.25 cups water
1/4 tsp salt
4 oz halloumi
2 eggs
1 tbsp cooking oil
1/2 tsp nigella seeds

How to cook it

Whisk the flour, water and salt into a thin, pourable batter with no lumps.
Heat a lightly oiled wide skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and pour in a thin layer of batter, swirling to cover the base in a large, delicate round.
Cook 2 minutes until the edges lift and the surface is dry and lacy, then scatter the grated halloumi over half the round.
Crack an egg over the cheese, fold the bread in half to cover it, and cook 2 minutes more, pressing gently, until the egg sets and the cheese melts.
Scatter with nigella seeds, slide onto a plate, and serve hot, the paper-thin bread eaten folded around whatever is in the fridge.
