Tastes amazing, cheesy, garlicky, hot with red pepper cayenne and sweet crunch of apple. Scrumptious cold or hot.
I adjust the recipe slightly with the addition of an impression more garlic clove, vintage or perhaps a strong cheddar cheese, a mixture of paprika and red pepper cayenne to include a rather more smoky flavour and cox apples for any sweeter crunch (don't over prepare the apples they require a little bit of bite).
Short crust pastry - Very easy to create on your own:
200g plain flour
110g Salted butter
Pinch of Salt
2-3 tablespoons of. of cold water
Rapidly rub flour and butter together to create a bread crumb constancy adding water piece by piece mixing until it forms a ball, don't over work and the pastry awesome, wrap in cling film, refrigerate.
Prepare all of those other recipe (skip the part about moving out and lining tins til you have got the filling all set to go within the cake). When the filling is prepared, now roll the pastry and line a greased tin/dish, fill and prepare.

What have you like concerning the Recipe?
A tasty vegetarian dish for meat eaters finally! I have managed to get a few occasions also it improves with more experience. I personally use spelt flour pastry due to a flour intolerance and soya rather of butter and milk but otherwise stick to the recipe. Today we'd 18 French and British buddies for supper and that i have demands from both nationalities for that recipe.

What have you like concerning the Recipe?
The flavours are fantastic. The filling is simple to create.
This has been created about 6 occasions with varied cheeses everybody continues to be effective. A mixture of Castellane and Cheddar cheese is most likely favourite
