Instructions

Step 1

Cover 1 dish (approximately 22 cm in diameter) with the rough cut pastry, ensure the pastry is spread out so the edges are high.

Step 2

Bake the pastry base in the middle of the oven. Cover if necessary with baking paper, and fill with dried beans during the baking - to hold the tin shape (discard the beans afterwards).

Step 3

Chop and cook the shallots for 3 minutes in salted water. Drain them using a sieve.

Step 4

Beat the eggs with milk, salt and pepper. Add grated cheese. Put the olives and shallots in the pastry base and fill with the egg mixture. Place the thyme twigs on top.

Step 5

Place the pie in the middle of the oven. Cover the dough edges if necessary with aluminum foil after 15 minutes baking time. Place the tart in the refrigerator until serving.
