Quick Quiche with Boursin and Ready-Made Pastry

Servings: 2

small baking tray around 10 x 15cm - I used a disposable foil one
baking beans ceramic, optional - prick the pastry with a fork for pre-bake stage if you have no baking beans
baking parchment paper small piece, around 15 x 20cm

1 scrap shortcrust pastry around 15 x 20cm, roughly a quarter of a boxed ready-made pastry roll
2 eggs
3 tbsp soft cheese I used 2 squares of Boursin garlic and herb flavour
6 cherry tomatoes
1 tbsp cheddar grated, to top

Lay the ready-made pastry in a small greased foil tray. Line with a sheet of baking parchment paper and ceramic baking beans.
Pre-bake the pastry case for 15 minutes at gas mark 6 / 200c, then reduce the oven temperature to 180c / gas mark 4.
Meanwhile, for the quiche filling, beat two eggs and the cream cheese with a fork until smooth-ish... the lumps will melt in the oven!
Pour the egg and cheese mix into the pre-baked pastry case, arrange cherry tomato halves in a satisfying grid layout and bake for a further 15 minutes at the lower temperature.
In the final five minutes, sprinkle over some cheese so it melts on top.
