Cooking Instructions

1 hr - 1 hr 30 mins
  1. 1

    Here's a glimpse at some of the ingredients.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 250°C (fan).

  3. 3

    Crumple **two** sheets of baking paper. Line a 20cm cake tin with the paper.

  4. 4

    Depending on whether you're using chives or garlic (or both): Finely chop the chives. Crush and finely chop the garlic. Set aside for later.

  5. 5

    Put the cream cheese into a large bowl and beat until smooth.

  6. 6

    Add the eggs one at a time, beating in each one entirely. Add the cream, parmesan, chives/garlic, salt and pepper, then mix to combine.

  7. 7
  8. 8

    Crumble in the gorgonzola and sieve in the cornflour. Fold in and mix well to combine.

  9. 9

    Pour the mixture into the lined cake tin and transfer to the oven. Bake for 17-20 mins until dark on the top but still very wobbly in the middle. It will sink and firm up as it cools.

  10. 10

    Cover and leave overnight (or until room temperature) before serving.
