Courgette, Carrot and Red Pepper Tart image

I'm not sure whether to call this a tart or a quiche, but either way it's lovely. It's great served hot with potatoes and salad, but I'm sure it'd be very tasty cold too.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

175 g plain flour
1 teaspoon paprika
75 g chilled butter, diced
1 green pepper, cored, deseeded and chopped
1 red pepper, cored, deseeded and chopped
200 g courgettes, trimmed
200 g carrots
2 eggs, beaten
300 ml milk
50 g mature cheddar cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Mix the flour and paprika in a bowl. Add the butter and rub it in until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add enough cold water to form a firm dough (just a couple of tablespoons). Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly. Chill for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/gas mark 6. Roll out the pastry and line a 23cm pie dish. Chill the case for 30 minutes, then bake blind for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and lower temperature to 180C/350F/gas mark 4.
  • Chop the peppers into small pieces and layer them over the bottom of the pie case. Cut the courgettes and carrots into ribbons and boil them for 2 minutes. Pat dry and lay over the peppers.
  • Beat the eggs, cheese and milk together and pour this over the vegetables. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the filling is set and golden brown.
