Ingredients

4 eggs

300g sour cream

¼ cup (35g) Mil Lel Shredded Parmesan

30g pack (½ cup) chives, finely chopped

400g cherry tomatoes, halved

2 tbsp fresh thyme

Cracked pepper

Base

1 ½ cups (185g) plain flour

125g butter, chilled and cubed

1 egg yolk

2–3 tablespoons iced water, as needed

1 extra egg yolk, whisked for brushing

Method

  • Preheat oven to 180°C.
  • To make the base, add the flour and butter to a food processor and process until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. With the processor running, add egg yolk and combine. If the dough seems too dry, add ice-cold water.
  • Turn the mixture out onto a lightly floured surface and gently bring together to form a ball. Flatten into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Roll pastry out between 2 sheets of nonstick baking paper until it is large enough to line a 21cm (12 inch) tart pan. Trim the edges and prick the base with a fork. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  • Place non-stick baking paper over the pastry and fill with baking weights (or raw rice).
  • Bake for 15 minutes, uncover and bake for a further 5 minutes. Remove from oven and use a pastry brush to coat the inside of the base with the egg wash. Bake for another 5 minutes to seal the tart, then set aside.
  • Beat together the eggs and sour cream, and stir in the parmesan and chives.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the pastry shell.
  • Arrange the tomatoes, cut side down, over the filling. Sprinkle with fresh thyme and cracked pepper.
  • Reduce oven to 160°C and bake for 30 minutes, or until the filling is set and golden.
  • Serve immediately or refrigerate and serve cold.
