Ingredients
- 2 sheets of frozen shortcrust pastry or savoury pastry
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 2 onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 1/2 cup corn kernels
- 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved, seeds removed
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup cream
- 1 cup grated cheddar or tasty cheese
- 2 tablespoon chopped fresh basil or basil paste
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
Method
- 1Preheat oven to 200°C. Lightly grease a 24cm loose-bottom quiche tin.
- 2Cut and join the pastry sheets so they completely line the tin with a small amount of pastry overhanging; prick the base with a fork. Place the tin on a rimless baking sheet. Line the pastry shell with greaseproof paper and fill with baking beans. Bake for 15 minutes.
- 3While the pastry is cooking, heat oil in a small saucepan and cook onion over a medium heat until beginning to colour. Add the brown sugar, reduce the heat and continue cooking, stirring occasionally until soft, sticky and rich golden brown.
- 4Remove paper from the pastry shell. Trim any overhanging pastry and scatter the caramelised onions over the base. Add corn and tomatoes.
- 5Whisk eggs, milk, cream, cheese, basil and chives. Season and pour into pastry shell. Return to oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden and set. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
For a lower fat option, replace the cream with milk and use reduced-fat pastry. Removing seeds from the tomatoes prevents the filling becoming watery. PER SERVE Energy 491kcal, 2057kj • Protein 14g • Total Fat 31g • Saturated Fat 14.9g • Carbohydrate 38g • Fibre 3.1g • Sodium 510mg
