Used different ingredients.
We also melted a lot of grated cheddar cheese over the top in the microwave as a final touch

Altered ingredient amounts.
When we put the recommended amounts of our chilli flakes in recipes it is far too hot. I put in 1/4 teaspoon into this recipe and it gave a nice "zing". I might go up to 1/2 teaspoon next time but with our ingredients a full t/s would be too much

Really easy to make and delicious. My wife loved it. It was a tiny bit dry but I think that was because I let it sit too long. Definitely one we'll be trying again! Thx
