Ingredients

220 gram unbaked shortcrust savoury flan case

1 chorizo, thinly sliced

3 portobello mushrooms

5 eggs

1/4 cup cream

100 gram blue cheese, crumbled

parsley leaves, to garnish

Method

1.Preheat oven to moderate, 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Place flan case on an oven tray. Bake 10 minutes.

2.Meanwhile, heat a medium frying pan on high heat. Add chorizo to pan. Cook 3-4 minutes, turning, until golden. Drain on paper towel.

3.Arrange whole mushrooms in flan case, stalk side up. Top with chorizo.

4.In a jug whisk together eggs and cream. Season to taste. Pour over mushrooms. Sprinkle blue cheese over. Bake 35-40 minutes, until firm. Serve in wedges, garnished with parsley.

If you can’t find a flan case, use 1 sheet frozen shortcrust pastry in a 20cm quiche pan. Brie or crumbled feta can be used in place of blue cheese. If portobello mushrooms are unavailable, you can use 6 cups smaller mushrooms instead.
