Now pour the heavy cream over the top of the casserole. Cover it with foil and bake it for 1 hour, in the oven.  After 1 hour, uncover the casserole and bake it for a further 30 minutes. In the last 10 minutes, sprinkle on the remaining cheddar cheese and spring onions; bake until the cheese is completely melted and golden brown.
