Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

Cooking time is based on a 800 Watt microwave. You may need to adjust the time to suit your microwave to avoid overcooking which results in dryness. Try cooking for 1 minute, and if it needs longer, additional bursts of 15 seconds until done.

Nutmeg can be substituted for cinnamon if preferred.

Remaining egg can be frozen.

This can be served with custard.
