Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute blue cheese for Dorset blue vinny cheese.

    This sounded so good with blue cheese and leek, but it turned out to be quite a wasteful recipe. Should have used a prepared pie plate or made it into a savory pie because it made way too much custard filling and short dough for a home kitchen tart pan. Frustrating with some cookbook baking recipes as I feel some are not tested in home kitchen. Don’t have this problem with CI or Milk Street recipes. Timing is off on baking too. Instead of 25 min baking, it came out to be over 45 min and it was still not as browned as book photo. It did jiggle in the middle as recipe stated when done so I took it out. Tastes good, but next time use a pie plate and make it into a quiche like recipe. Photo added.
