A beautiful crisp filo tart filled with new potatoes and asparagus - perfect!

Ingredients

  • 5 Sheets Filo Pastry 2 teaspoons Olive Oil or spray of Fry Light
  • 2 teaspoons Olive Oil or spray of fry light
  • 300 g Jersey Royal New Potatoes you can use others , skin on cut into 1cm rounds
  • 5 Smoked Bacon Medallions cut into largest strips
  • Bunch Asparagus I used 8 spears
  • 3 Free-Range Eggs
  • 1/4 Pt Semi Skimmed milk
  • Black Pepper
  • Small Handful grated Cheese not too much

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven 180C/ 350F/ Gas4
  • In a pan boil your new potatoes until tender approx. 10 minutes, drain and pop on one side
  • In a Tin 20cm x 25cm (8' x 10') - I used a rectangular tin for a change but you can use a round tin (loose bottom if you want to present your tart nicely) Next take a sheet of Filo and pop it in the tin carefully, don't worry if it breaks a little, brush with olive oil . Then place another sheet of Filo on top at a slightly different angle, again brush with a little olive oil.
  • Carry on until you have used all 5 sheets. Don't worry if it's hanging over the edge of the tin - simply scrunch it up a bit. Nothing too perfect!
  • In a large frying pan use some olive oil or fry light and fry your bacon pieces, asparagus spheres and cooked new potatoes, until they start to take on some colour, approx. 10 minutes or so. Then pop your fried potatoes, asparagus and bacon mix into your Filo  tart
  • Next in a small bowl whisk your eggs and milk together, seasoning with Black Pepper. Pour this mix into the filo tart
  • Finally sprinkle with a  little cheese and pop in the oven on a baking tray. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the fling is set and it's a light golden brown
  • Remove and serve - or leave to cool and serve at room temperature
