As you can see I need to purchase a bigger pan. I had to split it into two pans.

This is going to be good, I wont have any cooking to do other than sticking things in the oven, the peas and pan frying teh scallops. So very good for dinner parties.

Not the best base I've ever done as the local shop had no baking parchment or dried beans. So had to use foil and pasta :o




Nicely melted together


Add the eggs



Ad the cream, remember cream shoudl have a tablespoon of sugar and a cap full of vanilla extract, or vanilla seeds if you can afford it.



poor into base and allow to set before topping with the rest of the cream.


Top with cream, it could have done with a little more cream. then add some grated choclate to finish, remember to put chocolate in the freezer to make it easier to grate and it melts less.

everyone else thought these scallops where really good and to be fair they tasted fine, but we disagreed, I said it would have worked better with one or two big ones, every one else said they thought the small ones worked better for this dish.
 
felt like a change from mash, so potato dauphinoise

1.25k of potato
1 large onion
200ml double cream
500ml milk
2 egg yolks
salt + pepper
cheese to top..











Some reason it took just over 2hours to cook this.. So dried out a bit I budget for a time of about an hour and a quarter.
