  1. Line the cake tin with clingfilm so that there is a good 5cm overlap
  2. Beat the eggs and milk/cream together add the cheddar and season
  3. Pour into the prepared mould
  4. Add the potatoes, basil tomatoes and feta, these can be layered or just mixed up
  5. Fold the clingfilm overlap over the top
  6. Cover with tinfoil to prevent browning and burning
  7. Place in the oven (pre-heated to 180°C) until eggs set (approximately 35 - 45 minutes)
  8. Remove and allow to cool slightly, remove tinfoil and peel back clingfilm, cover with a plate and tip upside down
  9. Remove mould gently peel away clingfilm and serve

chef notes:

I like to cook this a day ahead, place it in the fridge (in the cake tin) so
it sets, then tip it upside down etc, slice it into wedges and either serve
cold or warm in the microwave.
