Great!! Lovely side dish! I didn't change a thing. I had to buy and defrost a roll of short pastry, and perhaps my pastry plate was a little too large for the recipe. I made it to go with a simple (whole) chicken, roasted in the oven with citrussy flavours plus Van der Hum liqueur. Plus a mixed salad. I used Swiss Emmenthal cheese and Parmesan -- I am not sure what is meant by "Swiss cheese" in the USA. One word of warning: if you have a convection oven like me, use a lower heat than 350 F/180 C. I had to turn mine down to 160 C after 20 minutes, because the crust threatened to burn. This was a delicious side dish. But I also think, as suggested by the photos, that it would be a great light brunch/lunch slice, with a cool salad added. And don't forget the glass of chilled white wine!Reply
