Crab and lobster tart
Use ready-made pastry and this seafood tart’s a cinch – serve it with a green salad dressed with lemony vinaigrette.

For the filling
- 4 free-range eggs
- 2 free-range egg yolks
- 425ml/¾ pint double cream
- pinch freshly grated nutmeg
- salt and freshly ground black pepper

- 250g/9oz white crabmeat
- 1 cooked lobster, meat chopped
- bunch spring onions

Method
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
Mix together the eggs, cream and nutmeg in a bowl. Season well with salt and pepper and add the parmesan, crab and lobster meat.
Fry the spring onions in butter in a frying pan and spoon into the case. Spoon the lobster and crab mixture into the prepared flan case and bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until wobbly in the centre.
