“Sweetcorn lagan is the perfect savoury treat – it has a dense, quiche-like texture, and is crammed with baby spinach, fresh herbs and feta cheese. My advice? Make two batches of these, because they don’t last long at all!”
Ingredients
- 210 g double-cream yoghurt
- 410 g can cream-style corn
- 250 g frozen sweetcorn
