- Top with the remaining cheese followed by the crunchy bake and then bake in a pre-heated oven 190°C/ 375°F/ Gas mark 5 for 25-30 minutes until core temperature is 75°C or above.
- While the bake is in the oven, simmer baby new potatoes for 20 minutes or until cooked.
CHEF'S TIP
Be careful not to overcook the broccoli or cauliflower, they just need blanching in boiling water for two to three minutes.
