Good recipe for Lent. Nutmeg is a nice addition. Half fat Creme Fraiche is a suggestion.. no less in flavour and grated walnuts sprinkled on the top before serving
Going to try that. I am going to be left "home alone" for the first time for years for a couple of days and that looks like something I would enjoy.
