Prepara-se um bom refogado regado de azeite, com a cebola cortadas às rodelas e os alhos picados. Depois de a cebola alourar, retira-se do lume.

Num tabuleiro de ir ao forno, colocam-se camadas alternadas de bacalhau, batatas, ovos e cebolada. Repetindo este processo até terminarem todos os ingredientes.

Leva-se o tabuleiro ao forno, polvilhado de salsa picada e algumas azeitonas.
