Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C
  2. For the pastry, sieve the flour and salt into a large bowl.
  3. Cut the butter into cubes. Toss in the flour and then rub in with your fingertips until the mixture looks like coarse breadcrumbs.
  4. Whisk the egg yolk and add some water. Using a fork, add just enough liquid to bring the pastry together, then collect it into a ball with your hands.
  5. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured worktop and line the 23cm (9 inch) diameter baking tin. The pastry should come up just above the top of the tin. Line with kitchen paper and fill to the top with dried beans. Chill for 15 minutes
  6. Blind bake the tart shell for 25 minutes at 180°C. Remove the beans and paper. The base should be almost fully cooked. Remove the parchment paper and beans, brush the base with a little beaten egg and replace in the oven for 3-4 minutes.
  7. Heat the oil in a sauté pan and add the chopped onions to the pan. Sweat gently on a low heat in the same oil for a further 10 minutes, keeping pan covered
  8. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs in a medium-sized bowl. Add the cream, herbs, cheese, sausage pieces and onions. Mix well and add seasoning. Fry off a tsp to taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  9. Pour the filling into the pastry base and return to the oven for 30–40 minutes or until the centre has just set.
  10. To serve, spread the top of the tart in Ballymaloe Relish. Top with sourdough crumble then serve with a scoop of green salad.
  11. Sourdough Crumble: Take leftover sourdough on a daily basis and blitz into chunky crumbs. Freeze and use on demand.
  12. In a bowl, place the defrosted sourdough crumb, drizzle over olive oil to barely coat.
  13. Place on a baking tray and bake until lightly golden in a 180°C oven. Remember to stir the crumbs so you get an even bake. Use as needed.
