These are from "Neris and India's Idiot-proof diet cookbook" and I've cooked them many times. They don't last long! You can add smoked salmon, substitute different cheeses, add meats like pieces of good sausage meat (with no carby filler) etc. They are great to stick in a lunchbox.

Please clarify: What is double cream and what is "gas mark 5 ans oil"?

[Smoggy 152]

If you google it, gas mark 5 is 375 degF. I meant to say "and oil" (as in grease, or butter the tin) but my iPad is tricky and typos abound.

Double cream is thick, heavy cream, but you could substitute low fat cream too.
