Notes
Chef’s Tips:
- Be aware of timing when baking an individual portion as the heat will remain strong for a while, so remove from oven a touch earlier than you think you should.
- Present to diners before breaking the hardened salt crust so they can enjoy the theatre and aromatic scents released upon opening.
