Love it - I make this almost every week. I make it using egg whites (6) instead of whole egg and I don''t put the milk in because I found it a bit runny the first few times. Also a bit of pumpkin is really nice, and I use 2 small zucchinis or 1 really big one. Nice with a sprinkling of parmesan on top.

This was really tasty and a great substitute for the old cream recipe
