This tart is Massive! I enjoyed it but would not make it again, it's not cheesy enough for my taste and overall quite lacking in flavour. It took a lot longer than twenty minutes to cook (nearer 35 mins) <br/>I added a few chives and a bit of fresh parsley to try and improve on the muddy colour of the filling, but it didn't help much. I'd also recommend giving the pastry base a 15 minute head start in the oven before adding the filling to avoid the soggy pastry at the bottom.
