Cauliflower and tarragon tart

Ingredients

  • 1 quantity of savoury, shortcrust pastry
  • 1 whole cauliflower (250g of bite-sized florets)
  • 250ml of pure cream
  • 2 well-beaten eggs
  • 100g of grated tasty cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup of chopped fresh tarragon
  • salt
  • freshly grated pepper

Method

Line a tart case with savoury, shortcrust pastry and bake the shell until golden; this can be done a day ahead.

From a whole cauliflower, remove 250g of bite-sized florets. Blanch in salted boiling water until tender. Drain well.

Mix 250ml of pure cream, 2 well-beaten eggs, 100g of grated tasty cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup of chopped fresh tarragon, a pinch of salt and freshly grated pepper. Arrange the cauliflower florets in the tart shell. Pour in the cheese mixture and bake in a preheated 160C oven for 30 min until it is golden.

Cool a little before serving.
