Cauliflower Cheese Tarts

Ingredients

For the Pastry
225g plain flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp turmeric
100g unsalted butter
40ml water (to bind)

For the Filling
1/2 - 1 head cauliflower broken into florets
Vegetable oil
Salt and pepper
150g greek yoghurt (or creme fraiche)
3 eggs
150g grated mature cheddar
2 tsp english mustard

Method
1.  Rub together the flour, butter and spices, and bring together with the water to form a dough - wrap in cling film and chill for 20 minutes.
2.  Preheat the oven to 180C / 160C Fan - blind bake the pastry cases for 30 minutes (20 with baking beans / 10 with the beans and paper removed).
3.  At the same time roast the cauliflower, tossed in oil and seasoned.
4.  Beat the eggs, greek yoghurt , mustard and cheese together.
5.  Let the pastry cool, then fill with the cauliflower and pour over the cheese sauce.  Bake for 20 minutes until browned and bubbling - cool slightly before serving.

Made today - very nice - made a large quiche dish and a couple of ramekins.  Might add a tad of cayenne too next time.
