Method
-
1Preheat the oven to 180°C or 160°C fan-assisted.
-
2To prepare the pastry base, allow the pastry to thaw slightly, overlap the two sheets, and roll out on a lightly floured surface, joining them together to create one big piece.
-
3Using the Le Creuset 28cm Fluted Flan Dish as your size reference, place the pastry inside and line the dish, shaping to the dish and trimming where necessary. Prick the base with a fork. Line with baking paper and blind baking beans or rice. Blind bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and almost cooked through. Remove from the oven and remove the baking paper and beans. Allow to cool.
-
4For the filling, whisk the eggs, milk, and cream together. Season and add the parsley. Arrange the sliced Brie and sundried tomatoes evenly into the cooled base and pour the egg mixture into the cooled pastry shell. Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden and just set.

5Serve warm with fresh tomatoes, basil, and a drizzle of good olive oil.
