8)Bake for an additional 35 to 40 minutes.
9)Let sit 10 minutes before serving.
This was my first Thermomix dish. It was delicious! You can vary in what vegetables you want as well as the use of cheese. (it's much healthier without all the cheese). I made two and they came out beautifully.
This is my variation of the ORIGINAL RECIPE FOUND HERE:
