   porridge Tart with Napoli Topping

   60ml (4 tbsp) toasted breadcrumbs
   750ml (3 cups) water
   250ml (1 cup) maize meal

   50g grated cheddar cheese
   2 extra large or jumbo egg yolks
   2ml (½ tsp) grated nutmeg

   NAPOLI TOPPING

   1 onion, sliced
   olive oil

   125ml (½ cup) olives, pitted
   leaves from a few sprigs of thyme
   salt and milled black pepper extra thyme sprigs, for garnishing
   Heat the oven to 200ºC. Butter a 22cm quiche tin and sprinkle in half the toasted crumbs.
