Ingredients

- 320g sheet shortcrust pastry
- 4 heaped tbsp onion chutney
- 100g half-fat crème fraîche
- 100g mature cheddar, grated
- 2 medium eggs
- 10 cherry tomatoes, halved
- 6 slices prosciutto
- Lamb's lettuce or rocket

Method

1. Heat oven to 180°C/160°C Fan/Gas Mark 4 and line a baking sheet with parchment. Unroll the pastry onto the baking sheet. Spread the chutney over the surface, leaving a border of about 1cm free around the edges. Fold in the edges and roughly pinch them together at the corners to make a raised border.

2. In a bowl, whisk the crème fraîche, cheese and eggs with a little salt and a good pinch of pepper. Pour the mixture into the centre of the tart, easing it out towards the edges with the back of a spoon. Top with tomatoes, cut-side facing up, and ruffles of prosciutto.

3. Bake in the oven for 35 - 40 minutes, until the pastry is golden and the filling has set. Leave to cool a little before scattering over the lamb’s lettuce, or leave to cool completely and store in the fridge.

A Tip
Don't buy pre-grated cheddar, it has an additive added to prevent it from going off in the bag
Buy a block and grate it yourself
