  Yum, Yum, even my 5 year old ate it, and he's the fussiest eater I know, I used slightly less mustard powder because it was for the kids but the garlic more than made up for it.

  This was surprisingly easy and absolutely fabulous. I made it in one large dish instead of the ramekins, used Cheddar instead of Red Leicester and used Back Bacon instead of streaky (basically what was in the fridge). The breadcrumbs drizzled with oil topped off this 'must do again' dish. Passing this recipe on for sure!

  Very tasty. The breadcrumbs do need to be quite chunky, though - mine were a bit fine and ended up as a thin crust rather than a crunchy topping (although it still tasted fine!).

  Very simple and very tasty! I added some broccolli spears at the bottom of the dish before adding the rest of the ingredients(as they were left over and in the fridge) and it worked brilliantly.

  Delicious. I used parmesan as a topping as I didn't have breadcrumbs and it was so tasty. Only downside I suppose is the calorie count but as a treat who cares? Used back bacon also because that's what was in the fridge.

  Not only does it taste really good, but it looks it as well! Both my 20 something sons loved it. A bit labour intensive for a friday night but well worth it.
