Thank you, Kimmy... we enjoyed this for dinner last night.  Used dried basil leave and work well.

Love it when "old" recipes resurface.
Kimmy, looks wonderful, this is what we'll be having for tea tonight seeing as I have no cooking mojo today  :)

I made this last night...cooking mojo was well out the window as I didn't have sweet potato, so used pumpkin like Cookie did. Also found some bacon in the fridge and threw that in as well. Didn't have all the cream needed either, so used milk in the filling.
Miss 12 wanted leftovers for her lunch today. She is going to be mighty disappointed...there are none.

It was easy to make and it was Yum and I'll make it again - thank you Kimmyh  :)

Your base is the best Kimmy. I used it instead of the edc short crust. It now replaces it in my book. I made a caramelised onion, pumpkin and feta tart. It was delicious and will definitely be a part of Christmas lunch :)

Your tart looks awesome. Yes the base is super easy but I can't take credit, mum gave me the recipe and I use it for all quiche/tart recipes now.

What a delicious looking dish, served very colourfully too.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

I was hoping to make this tomorrow and just wanted to reconfirm that the base is not blind baked before adding the filling?

I made this yesterday using pumpkin instead of sweet potato, and it was really easy.

I will certainly make the pastry again, it was so quick and easy to work with, and didn't shrink at all.
I will also use it next time I make a sweet pastry, perhaps just zap 20g sugar into icing sugar and then add the rest of the ingredients as per the recipe.

Thanks for a great recipe, Kimmy.  :)
