    Can be made well in advance and makes a really good simple side dish to christmas dinner. I am making it again this year but twice as much as everyone wanted some on boxing day too.

    Delicious - but even better if you add a beaten egg to the mixture. It makes it more light and fluffy.

    This is great with a Sunday roast. The gannets ate the lot!

    I didn't have double cream to hand so I switched the nutmeg, butter and double cream for half of a herb and garlic Boursin. It worked just as well.
