This is an easy recipe to make - you just need to be careful with the baking at the end.

This is a vegetarian recipe
This recipe was popular in the Interwar years and variations appeared in several cookery books.
You can use different flavourings (mustard for instance helps to enhance the cheese flavour) and add chopped olives or tomatoes if wished - fun to experiment.
These can also be made in small confectionery (sweet) cases and baked for 8-10 mins for a party.
