This dish is really a cross between the French dish Tartiflette, Spanish dish Tortilla and a Frittata. Called Hurd's Deep as I was making it one day when we saw a 35 foot basking shark off Alderney near Hurd's Deep Channel, so the names stuck ever since! This takes about 30 minutes to make and depending upon how hungry you are will feed 2 very hungry people. I'm ashamed to say we eat this in 15 minutes.

Cheese at sea is one of my favourite foods. Always buy a quality cheese that will melt and bubble when being cooked. There are some fantastic cheeses that you can buy whilst cruising and you can make so many quick dishes that are delicious at sea.
