Courgette

Courgette (or ‘zucchini’ for some of you!) tart – like a quiche with extra veg 🙂

Ingredients :

  • 1 short-crust pastry (see here for recipe)
  • 1 small onion
  • 200g lardons (smoked if possible)
  • 2/3 courgettes
  • 20cl crême fraîche or cream
  • 3 eggs
  • Salt & Pepper

Method :

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 180°C
  2. Wash and finely chop the onion and the courgettes (grating works well too if you prefer)
  3. Gently fry the lardons in a pan and then add the onion and courgettes – fry until the excess water from the courgettes evaporates
  4. Add salt (not too much because the lardons will be salty) and pepper
  5. In a bowl beat the eggs with the crême fraîche (or cream if using)
  6. Roll out you pastry and press it into a quiche dish, pricking the base with a fork
  7. Spoon the courgette, onions and lardons over the base of the tart
  8. Pour over  the egg and cream/crême fraîche mixture
  9. Bake in oven for 30 minutes
  10. Serve warm with a tossed salad

 

*  You can always add cheese too, sprinkling on top of the tart before it goes into the oven.  Or to have a vegetarian tart you could replace the lardons with a hard cheese – cheddar works well. Leave out the lardons, mix approx 125g of grated cheese into the cream and egg mixture and continue as above.
