Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

   Bring the mixture to the boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes.

   Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the egg and salt until well combined.

   Tip: Make sure the egg is fully incorporated.
