Cook
If required by the manufacturer, preheat for 3 minutes at 180 °C. Bake two batches of four, spaced apart, about 15 minutes each at 180 °C. Turn gently halfway. Fish and egg must cook fully in the thickest centre. Check that the thickest part reaches at least 70 °C for 2 minutes; continue cooking if needed.

Check and serve
Release with a spatula onto a clean plate. Potato keeps the centre soft, but it must not be raw, shiny or liquid.
