Tarts with heart

You will need a 20-23cm (8-9in) baked pastry case.

400g broccoli
284ml single or double cream
2 eggs
100g strong Cheddar cheese, grated
pinch of grated nutmeg
salt and black pepper

1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/gas mark 4.
2. Trim the broccoli into small florets and chop the stems. Steam for 7-8 minutes or until done but still firm. Rinse immediately under cold running water. This stops the cooking and sets the green colour. Dry on kitchen paper and spread in the base of the pastry case.
3. Mix together the cream, eggs, cheese and nutmeg, and season with salt and pepper.
4. Pour over the broccoli and bake for 30 minutes or until set. Serve warm or cold.
