Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 sheet of puff pastry or shortcrust pastry
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup cooked sausage, sliced and browned
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (plus extra for garnish)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pastry and press it into a tart pan, trimming the edges. Prick the base with a fork.
- Blind bake the crust for 10 minutes using parchment paper and baking weights, then remove and set aside.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil and add sausage slices. Cook until caramelized and slightly crispy. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in shredded cheddar and fresh thyme.
- Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust. Arrange caramelized sausage slices evenly over the top.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown.
- Let it cool slightly before garnishing with extra thyme and slicing.
Notes
- You can substitute cheddar with gruyère or mozzarella for a different flavor.
- Use spicy sausage for an extra kick.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
