October 2006 - My beautiful home grown peppers led me to
find this recipe!
Olive & Pepper Tart
Serves 4-6
Make a
savoury pastry case, then:
For the filling:
2 tbsp olive oil
1 shallot, finely chopped
1 red pepper, seeded and cut into bite-sized pieces
1 yellow pepper, seeded and cut into bite-sized pieces
2 eggs
142ml/5fl oz carton single cream
85g/3oz gruyère or mature cheddar cheese, grated
25g/1oz freshly grated parmesan
140g/5oz black olives, pitted
1. Heat the
oil in a frying pan, add the shallot and cook over a low heat for 1-2
minutes until softened, then add the peppers and cook for a further 5
minutes. Allow to cool slightly.
2. Beat the eggs and cream in a bowl and stir in the cheeses. Season, then
spoon the pepper into the pastry case, dot with the olives and pour the
egg mixture on top.
3. Bake for 30-35 minutes at 180C/350F/Gas
4,
until the filling is just set to the touch. Allow to cool slightly, then
remove from the tin.
(I didn't have all these ingredients to hand so I substituted with
danish blue cheese and green olives and it was delicious!)
