Baby pepper quiche with sundried tomato Maille mustard

Author: Sarah Trivuncic

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet pre-rolled shortcrust pastry
  • A little butter for greasing
  • 1/2 tub low fat crème fraiche
  • 3 large eggs
  • 8 miniature peppers of mixed colours or 1 large one, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Maille sundried tomato and pimento mustard
  • 50 g grated cheddar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200c / gas mark 6. Toss the peppers in the olive oil and spread across a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the oven for 10 minutes then set aside.
  • Meanwhile, grease the tart dish and line with short crust pastry leaving a raised edge of around 7mm to allow for pastry shrinkage.
  • Using a sheet of parchment paper and baking beans, bake the case "blind" for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the pastry case from the oven and carefully remove the paper containing the hot baking beans. Set aside whilst you prepare the quiche filling.
  • In a pint jug, beat the eggs into the crème fraiche, then beat in the mustard.
  • Scatter the roast pepper slices into the cooked pastry case. Pour over the crème fraiche, egg and mustard mix and finally sprinkle the grated cheese on top.
  • Bake in the top of the oven for 10 minutes at 200c / gas mark 6 then reduce the heat to 180 c / gas mark 4 and bake on a lower shelf for a further 15 minutes.
  • The quiche will be raised when it comes out of the oven but will level out upon cooling. May be eaten warm or cold.

Notes

You will need a 7inch tart dish and some baking beans
