Now, we're going to blind bake this little fooker.
I used dried peas, you could use nuts and bolts if you like.

Into the oven (pre-heated to about 200 c) and bake for 10-15 minutes.
Raddle up half a dozen eggs with milk and a bit of black pepper.
Grate the cheese. This is Hurdy Gurdy land's finest cheddar!
