• The spoon bread is complete when a tooth pick or knife inserted in the middle comes out not wet, because it is a very moist mixture you do not want a clean knife as you would with a cake, it should not be moving in the middle indicating it is still not fully cooked, if it moving in the middle and still wet when checked I would add 15 minutes to cooking time and check again.
• When it is out cover with foil to keep the moisture for about fifteen minutes
• Then it is all set to eat or can be kept and reheated great for plan ahead meals.
