- Fill the tart case with baking beans or dry rice, and blind bake for 10 minutes, then remove the baking beans, and bake for 10-15 minutes more, until golden brown.
- Finally, turn down the oven to 160C (150C fan)/gas 3, brush the case with the egg yolk and bake for two minutes more .Fill the baked case with layers of fish and broccoli, alternating between the two in layers.
- Top with the creme fraiche and egg mix, and bake for about an hour, turning the tart halfway through baking, or until just set with a little wobble. Set aside to cool a little, then serve with extra steamed broccoli or lightly dressed watercress.
