Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Some found it delicious, while others felt it was bland or lacked cheese flavour. Consider adding extra cheese for more taste.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and simple to prepare, with many children enjoying helping to cook the dish.
  • Suggestions: For a creamier texture, use less creme fraiche. Adding more cheese can boost the flavour if desired.
