Prepare a batter by mixing 2 cups of white flour with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and gradually adding water until the desired consistency is reached.

Set the batter aside.

For the filling, use 6 eggs, olives, onion, ketchup, pesto, mozzarella cheese, mixed cheese, and spicy sauce.

Heat a non-stick pan on high for a few seconds, then reduce to low heat.

Using a brush, spread a thin layer of the batter on the hot pan and cook for about 40 seconds until it starts to lift at the edges.

Remove the cooked layer and cover it with a cloth to prevent drying out.

For the filling, mix eggs, olives, onion, and cheese together.

Add the mixture to half of the cooked batter layer, fold it over, and cook until golden brown on both sides.

Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels.
