- Preheat the oven fully before anything goes in — a cold start changes the texture.
- Read the whole method before you start and measure out the 8 ingredients first — it keeps the pace relaxed once the heat is on.
Variations
- Individual portions: divide into ramekins or a muffin tin and reduce the baking time by about a third.
- Fusion twist: keep the method but swap the spices for your own favourites — the Netherlands base takes well to it.
- Vegetable boost: stir in a handful of spinach, peas or diced peppers in the last few minutes of cooking.
