    I's hard to tell when the bottom is browned unless you have a see-through pan... I burned mine a little but it was still ok.

    Easier way to do this - and added flavour! slice left over new potatoes (or tinned work just as well!!) whisk eggs with cream and seasoning and pour into a square tin to cook in the oven - no checking to see if bottom is browned!! Add other ingredients like chopped spring onions, bacon, mushrooms, peppers, cheese (goats cheese goes great with broad beans!) - anything you like! Basically this is just a quiche without pastry! Have been cooking my version with all of the listed ingredients for years and it always goes down well at parties!
