Ingredients

18oz (500g) shortcrust pastry (bought, or your own recipe, if you're good at that kind of thing)

1 cup (225ml) double cream

3 medium eggs, beaten

3 rashers of smoked bacon, chopped

1 medium red onion, chopped

2oz (50g) frozen peas

2 tablespoons (30g) fresh basil, chopped

Directions

Take the peas out of the freezer and leave them to one side so they begin to defrost just a little.

Roll out the pastry so that it is about an inch thick, and use it to line a greased 10 inch tart case. Prick the base with a fork. Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes. After that, line the pastry case with baking paper and baking beans. Bake blind in an oven heated to 180c (gas mark 5) for 10 minutes. Take off the paper and beans, and bake for a further 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, fry the bacon and red onion in a drizzle of olive oil, on a medium heat, for 6 minutes.

Spoon the bacon, onion and peas into the tart case. Top with the chopped basil.

Combine the cream and eggs, season lightly, and use this mixture to fill your tart (carefully!) up to the brim.

Turn the oven down to 150c (gas mark 2). Bake the tart for 45 minutes to 1 hour, checking that the pastry is not burning and that your filling is a lovely golden colour.
