What we'll need
- 200 g finely grated fresh coconut
- 3 pieces eggs
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 teaspoon butter for greasing

Here's how it's done.
Preheat and grease
Preheat oven to 180 °C. Grease a shallow ovenproof dish with reserved butter. Set out measured ingredients; coconut should be fresh and grated.
Mix eggs, butter and sugar
Crack eggs separately, transferring to a larger bowl. Add melted butter that has cooled until warm, and mix. Gradually add sugar, stirring until combined.
Fold in coconut
Add coconut and mix with a spatula. Spread evenly in the greased dish without packing down.
Bake until golden
Bake on the middle rack for about 40 minutes. Top should be golden and center moist, without liquid egg. Check from 30 minutes if your oven browns quickly.
Cool until warm and serve
Remove with oven mitts and place on a heatproof surface. Wait about 15 minutes before scooping portions with a spoon.
