    The list of ingredients leaves out hot smoked salmon and eggs. How much is needed?
    Illustration of the dish is a one pot but the method uses ramekins and is cooked in a Bain Marie.
    Recipe needs to be rewritten with all ingredients shown.

      Hi Sara,
      Thanks for your comment. Sorry about the error on the recipe – this has now been fixed to show all of the correct ingredients.
      The image of the recipe shows the eggs have been cooked in a gratin dish which has been taken out of the bain marie for serving.
      I hope this helps.
