- Rest the finished dish for a few minutes before serving — it lets the flavours settle and the texture firm up.
- Taste as you go. Seasoning at the end is fine, but adjusting halfway through gives a more balanced result.
Variations
- Individual portions: divide into ramekins or a muffin tin and reduce the baking time by about a third.
- Swap the egg for silken tofu — keep the cooking time similar and check for doneness.
- Vegetable boost: stir in a handful of spinach, peas or diced peppers in the last few minutes of cooking.
