Tasted fantastic - had to sub spring onion (scallion) for onion due to allergy issues, therefore skipped first part of step 3 and mixed everything together. The fresh herbs I used were parsley, rosemary, oregano and garlic chives. It took about 30 minutes in the oven and I would say 6 serves. I think it would be interesting to make as individual serves and maybe put some extra parmesan and a sprinkle of ground paprika on top. One word of warning though beat your egg whites just before you are going to use them - I did mine a little too early and they deflated a bit otherwise I think it would have been super light. Will be doing again.
