Make the pastry crust
100g / 40z Plain Flour
100g / 40z Rolled Oats
100g / 40z Melted Butter
Salt and Pepper
Mix all the ingredients together and press into a greased quiche tin.
Now you are ready to combine the parts …
Sprinkle a handful of Cheddar over the base of the pie. Because the cheese cooks at a much greater heat than the crust or the custard filling it acts as a barrier to stop the base getting soggy. This is a tip to use on all tarts where you are not going to blind bake the base first.
Pour on the custard filling and sprinkle on the final handful of Cheddar.
Pop into the oven for 40 or so mins.
