  • 5¼ ounces plain flour
  • 1¾ ounces grated cheddar and maasdam cheese
  • ½ tsp coarse salt

For the filling:

  • ⅞ ounce butter
  • ½ tsp curry

preparation

For the dough:

1. Cut the butter into small pieces and work it into the flour with your fingers.

2. Add the cheese and salt and quickly gather the dough together.

3. Press the dough into a greased spring form (approx. 8½ inches in diameter).

4. The dough should reach halfway up the sides. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 min. or overnight.

5. Prick the crust and pre-bake in the middle of the oven for approx. 12 min. at 400°F (conventional oven).

For the filling:

6. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the curry and wait until it has stopped bubbling. Saute the onions for about 1 min., then add the mushrooms and saute until all the moisture is gone, approx. 6 min.

7. Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust. Beat the eggs with the milk. Then add the rest of the ingredients.

8. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and bake in the middle of the oven for approx. 40 min. at 400°F (conventional oven).
