Method ⏲️

Crispy smashed potatoes become the perfect base for creamy egg and cheese goodness.

Step 1: Prep and Preheat

Preheat oven to 200°C. Grease a 23 cm pie dish.

Step 2: Make Your Potato Crust

Peel and chop 2 potatoes. Place into a pot of boiling salted water. Cook 12–15 minutes until potatoes are soft. Drain well. Smash your potatoes into your dish, going around the edges to form a crust. Put into the oven and cook for 15 minutes so the potatoes crisp up a little.

Step 3: Make Your Filling

Sauté the onion and garlic until soft. In a bowl, whisk 3 eggs, 200 ml cream, salt, pepper; stir in 100 g cheese and diced ham.

Step 4: Bake and Bon Appétit

Remove crust from oven and pour filling in; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake 25–30 minutes until set and golden. Let cool briefly before slicing and top with chopped parsley before devouring.
