1.
Preheat the oven to 190°C | 375F | gas 5.

On a lightly floured surface roll out the pastry and line a loose bottomed quiche tin.

Line the pastry case with greaseproof paper and baking beans, place in the refrigerator to rest for 30 minutes.
4.
Remove from the refrigerator and bake in the centre of the oven for 10 – 12 minutes.
5.
Remove from the oven, remove the baking beans and lining paper and return to the oven for a further 5 minutes to dry out the base of the flan.

In a heavy based frying pan saute the chopped spring onions in oil until soft.
7.
Whisk together the eggs yolks, sour cream, goat’s cheese chopped mint. Whisk the egg whites until you have smooth peaks, and then fold this into the sour cream/egg yolk/goats cheese gently. This will make the tart light and fluffy. Add the onions. Season with salt and pepper.
