  1. Preheat the oven to 180C/360F/Gas 4.

  8. Place the pan into the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until cooked through. Towards the end of the cooking, preheat the grill to its highest setting.
  9. Before serving, grate the cheese over the top and finish under the grill until the cheese is melted and golden-brown.
