The AGA cooker's radiant heat really comes into its own with this dish, the filling comes out heavenly light and cooking on the floor of the oven ensures a crispy, cooked pastry base. As well as making a really good stand-alone light lunch or snack, small garnished slices can become a cracking starter when entertaining. Many thanks to AGA Specialist Dawn Roads for this great recipe.
