union

 ½ recipe Basic Shortcrust Pastry
 2 ears corn, husked
 2 tbsp whole milk or heavy cream
 3 eggs
 1 tsp fine sea salt
 ¼ cup grated parmesan, divided
 1 large, ripe, beefsteak tomato
 Extra virgin olive oil for drizzling
1

Preheat oven to 375F. Make the crust and blind bake. Set aside

2

Meanwhile with a sharp knife cut the tomato into thin slices, you’ll need roughly 10, and place in a single layer on a double layer of paper towel. Leave to drain while you make the corn custard.

3

Strip the corn kernels from the cobs into a bowl. Tip them into the vase of a high speed blender and liquidize. Use the milk as needed to moisten the kernels.

4

In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, salt and 1 tablespoon Parmesan. Gradually beat in the liquidized corn until well blended. When the blind baked tart shell is ready, pour the corn egg mixture into it.

5

Gently lay the tomato slices on top of the corn custard, overlapping them into a circle as you go. Save a small end slice for the center. Drizzle the tomatoes with a little olive oil and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan. Bake 35-40 minutes or until the corn custard is puffy and set, the tomatoes cooked and the top golden. Let cool to room temperature. Serve drizzled with a little basil pesto, if you like it, and a simple arugula salad.

Quick Tip:

You can also make the custard with  frozen corn, roughly 3/4 - 1 cup per ear.
If you don’t want to make pastry, or use a pre-made shell try baking the custard in individual ramekins topped with a single slice of tomato and cheese. You’ll need to bake them in a bain-marie at 350F for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. If you’re making them this way, then use heavy cream instead of milk to help liquidize the corn.
