Cook
If required by the manufacturer, preheat for 3 minutes at 180 °C. Bake spaced apart about 20 minutes at 180 °C. Turn carefully after 10 minutes with a wide spatula. Filling must be hot and egg fully cooked, not just the crust browned. Check that the thickest part reaches at least 70 °C for 2 minutes; continue cooking if needed.

Check and serve
Lift out carefully without touching leaked cheese. Serve one filled piece each; the filling is very hot.
