Step 1

Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4 and grease a 22cm pie tin with butter.

Step 2

Place all ingredients for the Tart base in a medium mixing bowl. Combine ingredients until a rough dough forms. Place dough in the prepared pie tin and press out until 0.5cm thick all around. Prick the bottom of the pie tin with a fork a few times. Place in the oven and bake the pie base for 10 minutes until lightly golden.

Step 3

Meanwhile, to make the Filling, add olive oil, onion, carrots and thyme leaves in a frying pan on low-medium heat. Sauté until onion is translucent and carrot has softened slightly. Set aside and allow to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the eggs, ricotta, cheddar cheese, milk, minced garlic and chives and whisk until combined. Season generously with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.

Step 5

Remove pie base from the oven and pour in egg and cheese mixture. Then, scoop the cooked onion and carrots on top and smooth out until even. Place back in the oven to cook for 20 minutes until the top of your pie is nicely golden and the filling has cooked through.

Step 6

Once the pie has cooked, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before slicing into 6 slices.
