Egg and Cheese Pie

Ingredients

Eggs

2 cups mashed potatoes

2 tablespoons grated cheese

Pepper and salt

Cayenne

Fine breadcrumbs

Butter

Method

Mix potatoes with cheese. Pepper and salt to taste and a pinch of cayenne if liked. Place in a greased pie dish and make 4 or 5 depressions in the mixture. Break an egg into each, and cover the whole with grated cheese and fine breadcrumbs. Dot with butter and bake in a brisk oven until the eggs are set and the crust is crisp and brown (about 20 minutes). Sliced tomato on top is a variation.

How easy is this? And it lends itself to a few variations.

I found it in an Old Australian Food Recipes website.

How many people is that for?

Sounds good to me, perhaps a varation on a spanish ommlette but definitly a winter warmer here in north issan,

Will add some grated oinion and carrot to the mash before adding eggs and the oven, [ doc says ive got a cholestrol taint in my blood test] so ive got to eat healthy stuff,

Cheers sceadugenga,

More than likely... one egg per serving.... I know I would like one or two slices with a nice salad and a cold beer for lunch. ( I might even be tempted to caramelize some onions a little, maybe add a bit of bacon too)
