  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!

  I used feta instead of goat's cheese for a really good tart. I make several individual ones in 4" spring form cake tins and freeze them (for when there are no courgettes left)!!!!

  Mmmm! Really good! I made two pastry cases for 7" pans and divided the filling between them. I tried not to think about the calorie content as I was eating my second helping!

  Sorry just to clarify at the first step - it says to line the tray with pastry, then fill with baking paper and beans..? What kind of beans? (And why?) And does the paper then just sit over the pastry? Sorry to come accross a little ignorant but I am afraid I have never really done anything with shortcrust pastry before. Any help is much appreciated!

  Hi Frenchie, the bit about the baking paper is to blind bake the pastry to stop it being soggy when finished. Once the pastry is in the tin, pop over some baking paper (doesn't have to be neat) and then add some baking beans on top before putting in the oven. The beans are used to weigh down the pastry otherwise it starts to puff up and that's not what you want. The baking paper stops the beans sinking into the pastry. Then you take them out (paper and beans) and cook for another 5mins to brown the pastry a bit before adding the filling. Hope that helps!

  Thanks for that Blamblam! Much appreciated! Still had a bit of hiccoughs getting the pastry cooked right, but suspect that was far more to do with my total ignorance to pastry cooking! However once properly cooked result was well recieved by my guests. Personally I think I'll use stronger cheese (perhaps feta) to give it a more powerful taste the next time I make it, but definate something I plan to use again!

  Oops, forgot the cream, however, used plain yoghurt instead and it tasted great. I think slightly better than with the cream.
