Created by Ehmer, Thursday, 27 March 2008

Description

Ideal for a buffet or brunch. Use cheese with color and flavor, such as red Leicester, and maybe a pinch of cayenne pepper instead of the black one.

Makes

Shortcrust pastry

Use ready to roll pastry or make your own shortcrust pastry.

1/2 cup + 1 Tbs flour
pinch of salt
3 Tbs butter
1-2 Tbs chilled water.

Filling

1 large egg, beaten
1/2 cup single cream
1/4 cup grated cheese
4 spring onions, finely chopped
salt
pepper

Methods/steps

Follow the instructions for plain pastry to prepare shortcrust pastry. There is no need for any blind baking.

Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C)
Roll out the pastry and line 12 individual pie pans. Chill while preparing the filling.
Whisk together cream and egg. Season with salt and pepper, then mix in cheese and spring onions.
Pour the filling into the pastry shells and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the filling is just set.

Additional Tips

As a variation, top each pie with a slice of tomato before baking.

Although it can be served warm or cold, it is best eaten warm or slightly re-heated.

Baked Hake with Leek and Cheese Sauce

Created by Ehmer

Hake is a white fish with a delicate flavor and wonderful texture. It is very appreciated in Spanish cuisine. If hake is not easy to find, try this recipe with cod or any other white fish.
