Notes
Prepare crustless if preferred. Grease a 20 cm / 8 inch deep pie pan or loaf pan and pour filling straight into the pan.
Depending on the size of the egg you may need more or a little less. If you find it looks like it needs more to fill when you are adding the filling whisk in the extra into the remaining mix before you fill it completely. If you end up with excess mixture; pour into a muffin tin or small ramekins and bake.
