How to make it
- Grease a cupcake tin or a quiche pan.
- Roll out pastry dough and cut circles big enough for cupcake tin, leaving enough to hand over the edge of each.
- Brush each pastry shell with beaten egg, especially the edges.
- If you are making a large quiche, line the dish with the pastry dough and trim the edge or make a decorative twist for the edge. Brush the crust with the beaten egg (this makes the crust shiny and golden when it bakes).
- Chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- Cook the peas in hot water until tender.
- Drain and place half the peas in a bowl or food processor and briefly process them to break them up.
- Leave to cool for 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl blend the eggs, yolks, salt, pepper and whipping cream.
- Fold in the creme fraiche and mint, all the peas and 3/4 of the cheese.
- Fill each tart pastry (or quiche pastry), then scatter each with the remainder of the cheese and the spring onions.
- Drizzle a little olive oil over the onions.
- Bake tarts for 25 minutes, or quiche for 45 minutes, until golden and set in the center.
- Cool for 20 minutes before serving.
