Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F, gas mark 6). Unwrap the pastry and place on a baking sheet. Using a sharp knife, cut the pastry into a circle and trim away the edges. Score a border about 2cm (¾ in) in from the edge.
- Lightly beat one egg and use to brush the pastry. Bake for 10-15 mins, then remove. Turn down the oven to 180°C (350°F, gas mark 4).
- Mix the four remaining eggs with the rest of the ingredients (except the parsley) and season well. Push the puffed-up pastry down in the centre and pour the egg mixture into the pastry case.
- Return to the oven and cook for 15 mins or until set. Scatter over the parsley and serve with the salad.
