Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, as i didn't have any cream left, i used plain yogurt, as suggested i made some fresh breadcrumbs, and we had the "timbale" today, with tomatoes (cold) it was very "fin, fondant, delicieux" ! my picture is not very pretty, because i didn't slice my spinach timbale correctly, but it was vraiment bon. Oh! i added 1 tablespoon of old fashioned mustard ( the one prepared with seeds)1Reply
