    I’m just a bit worried by the broad range of the cooking time – 20 to 30 minutes. How can I tell if it’s cooked?

    Hello, cooking times vary on oven’s and to taste. It should be golden on top and firm to touch. Set your timer for 20 minutes and give it additional time as needed. Enjoy.

    Hello Meags, here at TNN we don’t count calories. If this is something which interests you, you can enter the recipe into a platform such as My Fitness Pal which will give you the macro breakdown.

    It’s also great with some smashed avocado on top of it! It’s my go to when we have footy carnivals as well.
