Jill Dupleix was inspired by local Australian produce to create this beautiful bacon and egg tart with tomato relish.

Ingredients (10)

  • 1 1/2 sheets frozen shortcrust pastry, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 175g bacon rashers, chopped
  • 4 eggs
  • 2/3 cup (160ml) thickened cream
  • 1/2 cup (125ml) milk
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup (60g) grated cheddar
  • Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
  • Rocket leaves and tomato relish, to serve

Method

  • 1.
    Preheat the oven to 180C. Grease a 36cm x 11cm rectangular loose-bottomed tart pan with the pastry and trim to fit. Place in the fridge to chill for 10 minutes. Prick the pastry base with a fork, then line the pastry with non-stick baking paper and fill with rice or pastry weights and bake in oven for 15 minutes. Remove paper and weights and return to oven for 5 minutes until dry and crisp. Remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly.
  • 2.
    Heat oil in a frypan over medium heat, add the bacon and cook for 5 minutes or until crisp. Drain on paper towel.
  • 3.
    Whisk together the eggs, cream, milk and mustard in a bowl, stir in the cheese and nutmeg, then season.
  • 4.
    Scatter half the bacon over the pastry base, pour over the egg mixture and scatter with the remaining bacon. Bake for 20-25 minutes until set.
  • 5.
    Serve the tart warm or at room temperature topped with rocket leaves and tomato relish.
