Courgette and broccoli quiche

   Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.

   Line a 20cm/8in tart tin (3.5cm/1¼in deep) with the pastry, then place in the fridge for 30 minutes.

3. 3

   Line the pastry with baking parchment and fill with baking beans. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the pastry is dry.

   Remove the baking parchment and beans and return the pastry case to the oven for a further 3-5 minutes, or until the pastry is a pale golden-brown and just cooked.

   Turn the oven down to 180C/350F/Gas 4.

6. 6

   Heat a frying pan until hot. Add the butter and courgettes and cook until golden-brown. Season with salt and black pepper, then drain through a sieve to remove any excess moisture.

7. 7

   Blanch the broccoli in a pan of boiling water for 1-2 minutes, or until just cooked. Drain, then refresh in a bowl of ice-cold water and drain once more. Add to the cooked courgettes and toss to combine. Scatter over the bottom of the pastry case.

8. 8

   Place the eggs and milk in a bowl, season with salt and black pepper and whisk well. Add half the cheese and whisk once more.

9. 9

   Pour over the egg and milk mixture on top of the vegetables in the pastry case, then scatter the remaining cheese over the top.
