Method

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 190C (170C fan, gas 5). Heat the olive oil in a pan and cook the onion for 5 minutes until soft.

    Roll out the pastry and line a 23cm tart tin, pressing it into the edges. Prick the base and bake for 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Beat the eggs with the whole milk, then stir in the sweetcorn, cooked onion and most of the cheddar.

  4. 4

    Pour the mixture into the pastry case and scatter over the remaining cheddar.

  5. 5

    Bake for 30-35 minutes, until set and golden on top.

  6. 6

    Leave to cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
