Instructions

In a big bowl, whisk the eggs (no mixer required), add the grated cheese, the oil, milk, dried mint and flour. The amount of flour is between 2½ and 3 cups (between 300 g and 375 g), depending on how big the eggs are.
Grease and flour an 11-inch (28 cm) cake bundt form and pour in the mixture.
Preheat oven to 350 F (180˚C) and bake for about one hour until the crust is golden brown and when a toothpick comes out clean.
