Place the 4 eggs in the mixing bowl and add the whipped cream and some salt, pepper, paprika powder or all-seasoning mix to taste

at. Beat this until light and fluffy in 2 minutes.

When the leek mixture has cooled down a bit, pour it onto the layer of oatmeal and spread it evenly.

Pour the egg mixture over it and sprinkle the grated cheese on top.

If desired, sprinkle with some paprika powder for color.
