Tips

  • To make this in advance shape it completely and brush with egg wash. Flash freeze on a tray until it hard and then wrap it or place in a large freezer bag. Cook straight from frozen at the same heat and cook for an extra 5 min.
  • If your oven isn’t strong keep it at 180C for the second baking step.
  • Don’t be tempted to take it out earlier you want it to be cooked inside.
  • Leave for 5-10 min before serving. Enjoy hot or cold.
