Excellent! I couldn't help myself and had some from the pan it was devine gooey and rich. It is a little salty due to the cheese and butter I think, next time I wouldn't bother with the tsp salt. I cut this up and froze the pieces so I could put them in lunch boxes. I think this would also make a lovely vegetarian main with some simple green veg or a salad when served hot.

This was delicious, very cheesy and easy. I made this for my sister's annual meatless X-Mas Eve dinner and it was a big hit. I made exactly as written but added a little oregano, dill and black pepper to the batter before cooking. Thanks for the great recipe.
