• 120 mls Booths double cream
• 1 egg 1 egg yolk
• 1 tsp thyme leaves

2. Preheat oven to 190°c / gas mark 5.

3. Roll out the pastry to the thickness of a pound coin on a lightly floured surface, line the pastry cases, top with a disk of greaseproof paper and baking beans then cook for 10 minutes. Remove paper and baking beans and cook for a further 5 minutes. Remove and cool.

4. To make the filling, gently fry the onion and red pepper in olive oil until soft, then divide between the cases, top with the cheese and thyme.

5. Whisk the cream and egg together, season with a little salt and milled pepper and pour into the cases and bake for 15 minutes and serve.

BRENDA Comments:
Lovely recipe - I use red onion (lovely and sweet flavour - goes well with the red pepper) - and we also added chopped cooked bacon to make a more substantial meal when we have the 6' + contingent coming to tea!
