Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 sheets Filo pastry sheets
- 100 g Butter, melted
- 200 g Streaky bacon, chopped into small pieces
- 1.5 cups Canned corn kernels, drained
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F). Grease a round tart tin or a 9-inch pie dish with olive oil.
Lay one sheet of filo pastry on a clean surface. Brush it lightly with melted butter. Place another sheet on top, brush with butter, and repeat until all 6 sheets are layered.
Transfer the layered filo stack into the prepared tart tin, pressing it gently to fit into the base and sides. Trim any excess pastry hanging over the edges.
In a frying pan over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream. Add the grated cheddar, corn kernels, cooked bacon, chives, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Pour the egg mixture into the filo-lined tart tin, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is slightly golden.
Remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy this delicious and savory tart as a hearty breakfast, light lunch, or dinner paired with a fresh salad.
