Notes
Tips and Variations
• Experiment with your fillings. You could also add corn kernels and finely chopped spring onion to the above recipe or omit the ham and use flaked tuna or salmon instead.
• Another variation is to add cubes of roasted pumpkin with pine nuts and spinach and perhaps some sautéed red onion or caramelised onions.
• Blue cheese is also a lovely substitute for the cheddar with some snap-fried prosciutto added along with red onions and fresh oregano.
