Method

  1. Heat the oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Line a 5cm to 6cm-deep, 20cm-wide springform cake tin with the pastry, fill with baking paper and beans, then blind bake for 10 minutes. Take out paper and beans and cook for another 5 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, slice the courgettes and cook in a knob of butter in a large frying pan for about 10 minutes or until starting to turn golden. In a separate bowl, mix the eggs and double cream and season, then slice the goat's cheese logs. Fill the pastry case with layers of goat's cheese, egg mix and courgettes, finishing with courgettes and goat's cheese. Bake for 50 minutes at 190C/fan 170C/gas 5, then leave to cool in the tin before slicing.

    My children loved this and they don't even like courgettes! We all agreed it tasty too cheesy, and so next time I will probably either use more egg mixture and less cheese or add another vegetable. Might try filo pastry next time for a twist.

    This turned out really tasty and was really nice cold a few days later. I struggled a bit getting the pastry into the tin and realised afterwards that it would have been easier to first do a circle for the base and then a long strip to go round the sides. It also needed longer in the oven because the centre wasn't set at first. But when it was ready it was yummy!
