Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 1/8 pound block shortcrust pastry

1 1/8 pound pack salad potatoes

10 slices vegetarian bacon

2 tablespoons basil leaves -- roughly torn

2 tablespoons snipped chives or spring onion tops

5 ounces goat's cheese -- crumbled into chunks

3 eggs

1 carton double or whipping cream -- (142 ml)

2 fl oz milk

 

Heat oven to 190C/Fan 170C/Gas Mark 5. On a lightly floured surface, roll

out the pastry thinly, then line a 23cm loose bottomed metal flan tin.

Prick base with a fork, line the pastry case with greaseproof paper, fill

with baking beans and bake for 8 mins.

 

Remove beans and greaseproof paper and bake for 10 more mins until the

pastry is firm and beginning to colour. Remove from the oven and reduce the

heat to 180C/Fan 160C/Gas Mark 4.

 

Meanwhile, cook the potatoes in boiling, salted water for 8-10 mins or until

just tender. Cool a little then slice thickly. Roughly chop 4 vegetarian

bacon rashers and fry in a small pan over medium heat until they begin to

crisp. Mix potatoes with bacon and herbs and arrange in pastry case.

Scatter evenly with cheese.

 

Beat eggs, cream and milk together. Season well and pour carefully over the

filling. Arrange the remaining bacon over the top.

 

Bake for about 40-45 minutes until the custard is risen and just set in the

centre and the bacon is crisp and browned. Leave to cool in the tin. When

cool, ease the tart out of the tin and cut into slices. Serve with salad.

NOTES : Spend a bit of time making a delicious tart like this and much it

over a couple of days - take some to work for lunch, or maybe a few slices

to the park as an impromptu picnic. Savoury flans are perfect for both

occasion as they are best served cool rather than chilled. Cuts into eight

slices.
