    Is the recipe correct? 50g cheese and one egg doesn't seem like enough to fill a 23 cm tin.

    i don't think its supposed to be dense like a quiche, its a lighter and really tasty tart. i used prebought pastry (as i needed to use it up) also, watch the tomatoes as they quickly go very soft, mine did however the finished tart they practically melted into the cheese which was nice (and i think i when i make it again i will do the same)

    Beautiful! I doubled the egg and cheese for the filling but my pastry made 1 big one and 3 mini tarts. I also put some chunks of goats cheese on top with the tomatoes - delicious. Enough to freeze for later.

    Really tasty veggie tart. I took advice of others and also doubled filling and it worked well, needed ten mins extra cooking. will cook again with my glut of toms in greenhouse.

    Really nice and simple to make. I agree on the double filling and the pastry was just perfect! I'll make it again. Served with a simple salad was just the way to do it!

    I roasted the tomatoes in the oven first with thyme, sage, olive oil and salt and pepper because they were a bit squidgy. I doubled the filling quantitiesas suggested and was very pleased with the results. Will make again..

    Not enough filling ! I doubled the filling but added an extra egg on top of that. Also the tomatoes were too soggy for my taste so next time I will grill them before putting them on the quiche and in the oven. And if you don't have baking beans no worries I just chucked the pastry in the oven uncovered :)

    We modified the recipe to suit aged goat cheddar, which is tangier and sweeter than cow cheddar - see http://fiveacresfarm.blogspot.co.nz/2012/02/aged-goat-cheddar-and-tomato-tart.html . The end result was excellent, and was even better cold.

    Took on board the reviews, doubled the 'filling' but otherwise followed recipe to the letter. Very tasty, even the children loved it!!

    This tasted delicious! I only wish there had been a little more filling, ie. one more egg and perhaps a tiny bit more light grated cheese. But that is something i suppose I can fix myself next time I make it. I also added a little oregano in the mix, belissimo! You can see the one I made on my food blog here: http://julesthenorweegie.blogspot.co.uk/
