Steps:
- Pre heat oven to 180 degrees C / 356 F. I use an electric fan oven, please adjust according to your own oven.
- Roll out the pastry on a floured surface, it should be wide enough to generously cover a round 22 cm oven proof dish. Place the pastry into to dish and gently push in the edges with your thumb. Roughly trim the edges leaving extra pastry for shrinking. Prick the pastry a few times with a fork. Place in the fridge for 10 minutes. Keep any leftover pastry for any cracks.
- Prep the vegetables while you wait for the pastry.
- Remove the pastry from the fridge. Place a round of parchment paper over the pastry and fill with baking beans. Bake in the top third of the oven for 15 minutes then remove the paper and beans. Check for any cracks and seal them up with the leftover pastry if needed. Bake again for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven a leave to cool a little.
- Beat the eggs in a bowl stir in the cream. Crumble in most of the feta keeping about a tablespoon aside. Add the thyme leaves, salt and pepper and spring onions and stir.
- Crumble the remaining feta over the pastry base, pour half the egg mixture over the pastry. Arrange the courgette and tomatoes around the egg mixture. Pour the remaining egg mixture over the courgettes and tomatoes then add spread the pine nuts over the top. Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 30 - 35 minutes. The quiche is done when the top is golden and the filling is set and slightly puffed up over the pastry.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before removing from the dish. Serve warm or at room temperature with a green salad.

Steps:
- For the pastry, tip the flour, butter and parmesan into a food processor. Blitz to a rough crumb, then add the yolks and 2 tbsp water. Pulse to a loose dough, then tip the mix out onto a floured surface and knead a few times to a smooth pastry.
- Roll the pastry between two sheets of baking parchment to the thickness of a £1 coin - the disc should be big enough to fit a 20cm tart tin with a loose base. Chill in the fridge for 1 hr.
- While the pastry is chilling, salt the courgette and spring onions, and leave for 1 hr in a colander with a bowl underneath to catch the juices.
- Use the pastry to line the tin. Work it into the corners, then cut away any pastry from the edges. Pop back in the fridge for 10 mins or so.
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line the pastry case with parchment and baking beans, and bake for 20 mins. Lift off the parchment and beans, and continue to bake until the base is fully cooked and biscuity brown. Remove from the oven and leave to cool.
- Tip the courgette and spring onions into a clean tea towel and squeeze out the remaining excess water. Tip into a large mixing bowl and stir through the blue cheese, onion marmalade and thyme. Spread the mix over the bottom of the tart case.
- Whisk together the cream, whole egg and yolks with some seasoning. Pour this over the courgette filling and bake for 30-35 mins until just set. Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely before cutting into slices.

STILTON, TOMATO & COURGETTE QUICHE
Taken from 'Baking & Desserts' - Food Fact : Stilton is a very traditional British cheese which often makes an appearance on the cheese board or served with a ploughman's lunch. It gets much of its full pungent flavour, from its veins (created from the steel wires which are inserted into the cheese during the maturing process) It is worth loooking for a piece of Stilton with lots of veins that hs been matured for longer.

Steps:
- To make the pastry, tip the flour and butter into a bowl, then rub together with your fingertips until completely mixed and crumbly. Add 8 tbsp cold water, then bring everything together with your hands until just combined. Roll into a ball and use straight away or chill for up to 2 days. The pastry can also be frozen for up to a month.
- Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface to a round about 5cm larger than a 25cm tin. Use your rolling pin to lift it up, then drape over the tart case so there is an overhang of pastry on the sides. Using a small ball of pastry scraps, push the pastry into the corners of the tin. Chill in the fridge or freezer for 20 mins. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.
- In a small roasting tin, drizzle the tomatoes with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Put the tomatoes in a low shelf of the oven.
- Lightly prick the base of the tart with a fork, line the tart case with a large circle of greaseproof paper or foil, then fill with baking beans. Blind-bake the tart for 20 mins, remove the paper and beans, then continue to cook for 5-10 mins until biscuit brown.
- When you remove the tart case from the oven, take out the tomatoes, too.
- While the tart is cooking, beat the eggs in a large bowl. Gradually add the cream, then stir in the basil and season. When the case is ready, sprinkle half the cheese over the base, scatter over the tomatoes, pour over the cream mix, then finally scatter over the rest of the cheese. Bake for 20-25 mins until set and golden brown. Leave to cool in the case, trim the edges of the pastry, then remove from the tin. Scatter over the remaining basil and serve in slices.

PRAWN AND COURGETTE QUICHE WITH ROCKET
From Sainsbury's magazine. "Although I prefer homemade pastry, this is a quick option using a packet of ready - rolled pastry for when time is short. The prawns and courgettes make a delicious combination but if you want to make this even simpler, replace the prawns with smoked salmon trimmings. This can also be made in a 23cm (9in) round loose-bottomed tin, 4cm (1 1/2in) deep." You will also need a 19 x 27 cm (7 1/2 x 11in) loose-bottomed rectangular tin, 2.5cm (1in)deep, lightly oiled, a large baking sheet, some baking parchment and baking beans (or rice)

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 220C, fan 200C, gas 7. Unroll the pastry and use to line the tin, trimming the edges if necessary.
- Rest in the fridge for 40 minutes before pricking the base with a fork, lining with baking parchment and baking beans (or rice) and baking on the baking sheet on the middle shelf of the oven for 18 mins or until golden around the edges.
- While the pastry is cooking, whisk together the eggs and egg yolks with the double cream, season with 1 tsp of salt and 1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper.
- Take the pastry case out of the oven, remove the parchment and baking beans (or rice) and brush with a little of the egg mixture. Bake for 5-7 mins or until golden all over. Remove from the oven.
- Next, top and tail the courgettes and thinly slice each one at an angle. Heat a large frying pan with the vegetable oil and fry the courgettes over a medium-to-high heat for 3 mins, until they just begin to brown. Add the chopped garlic and fry for 30 seconds, enough to soften, rather than brown it. Season with a little salt and cayenne pepper then transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper.
- To prepare the prawns, slice all the way through them, from top to bottom with a very sharp knife, and remove any black veins. Set aside.
- Spread the chopped rocket over the pastry base and arrange the courgette slices and prawns on top. Pour over half the egg mixture, ensuring it runs evenly underneath the prawns and courgettes.
- Place the quiche on the middle shelf of the oven. Pour over the remaining egg mixture, turn the oven down to 180C, fan 170C, gas 4 and bake for 30 minutes
- Turn off the heat and leave in the oven for a further 10 minutes Then remove the tart from the tin and slide off the base onto a cooling rack. Serve warm from the oven or cold, but not chilled, with the reserved rocket leaves on top.
