3. Shape the boats — Divide into four, roll each into an oval, then roll the long edges inward and pinch the ends into points.
4. Fill — Pack the cheese mixture into the hollow of each boat.
5. Bake — Bake at 230°C for 15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese bubbling.
6. Add the egg — Make a well in the cheese, crack an egg into it and return to the oven for 3 minutes so the white just sets.
