directions
- Preheat the oven to 200˚C/180˚C fan/gas mark 6. Roll out the pastry on a floured surface and use it to line a 20cm tart tin.
- Line with parchment paper and fill with baking beans and rice. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove the beans and paper and bake for another 10 minutes until light golden.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Cook the leek for three minutes until soft, then stir in the asparagus and green beans. Cook for 2-3 minutes until just tender. Stir in the peas and cook for one minute.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 190˚C/170˚C fan/gas mark 5. Arrange the vegetables in the pastry case in an even layer.
- Whisk the eggs and milk and pour into the case. Scatter over the Feta.
- Bake for 30 minutes until the filling is set. Serve warm or at room temperature.
