  1. Not sure why, but it took mine about 40 minutes to cook completely. I used a 7” springform pan and when placed in my fryer basket, there was about 3/4” space all the way around the outside of the pan so I know the airflow was ok. I covered it loosely with foil as stated in the directions, but at the 10 minute mark it was still completely uncooked. I uncovered, cooked another 10 minutes to find it starting to brown on top, so I put the foil back on top and it took approximately 20 more minutes to cook through. It was still fluffy and delicious.

  2. I love breakfast crock pots on Sunday mornings…. but this may be me alternate go to…. Thanks

  5. Am I the only one who didn’t see cream, or the amount of cream, on the ingredients list?

    1. That omission is in the 1st list…. but further into the blog the cream is there… 3 tablespoons heavy cream double cream.. I hunted for that very reason… then just before the comment section I found the perfected recipe.
