TIPS 

Use smoked salmon for a smokey flavour.

Vary the flavour by substituting the salmon with tuna, bacon, mushroom, pitted olives, etc. 

Substitute with other vegetables such as leek, potato, brinjal, semi-dried tomato, asparagus, spinach, etc. 

Sauté the bacon, mushroom, leek, brinjal to cook and brown them to bring out the taste before adding.

Add herbs and spices.

Line mould with paper cup if desired.
