List of ingredients for Spicy three cheese flan with sesame seeds


* 60 ml Olive oil (about 4 tablespoons)
* 1 large Onion, peeled and chopped
* 2 Cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed
* 50 g Blue cheese
* 225 g Cream cheese
* 1 tablespoon Plain flour
* 3 Eggs, whites and Yolks separated
* Sea salt and Freshly ground black pepper
* 3 tablespoons Chives, finely chopped
* 225 g pre rolled Shortcrust pastry
* 50 g Cheddar cheese
* 4 pinches of Curry powder
* Pinch of fine Salt
* Pinch of Freshly ground black pepper
* 2 tablespoons of Sesame seeds

===Method===
* Heat the Oil in a Frying pan or Wok and add a good pinch of Black pepper
* Saute the Oil over a low heat until soft and transparent. Do not allow it to Brown
* Add the Crushed garlic and Stir-fry for the last few minutes
* Remove from the heat and set aside and allow to cool
* Crumble the Blue cheese into a bowl and mix in the Cream cheese
* Stir in the Flour, Egg yolks, cooled cooked Onions and Garlic, chopped Chives and season with a pinch of Salt, not too much as the Blue cheese is quite salty
* Using a 20 cm (8 inch) push out flan tin, mark a circle that will fit snugly in the bottom
* Grease the inside of the flan case with a little Olive oil or Butter
* Sprinkle the Grated Cheddar cheese over the prepared Pastry and dust with the Curry powder
* Use a Rolling pin to press this into the Pastry
* Line the base of the tin with the disc of Pastry, Cheese side up. Rolling this up first is the easiest way to transfer it to the fan tin.
* To make the edge strip you will need to re roll the remaining pastry. Using your hands, roll into a long sausage, about 60 cm long (2 feet) long, and then roll that out to match the height of your tin.
* Use this strip to line the edge of the tin, Cheese side up.
* Crimp the two pieces of Pastry together with your fingers so they make a good seal
* In another bowl, whisk the Egg whites until they create still peaks and sprinkle with a little Salt and Pepper
* Gently fold the Egg whites into the Cheese mixture and spread evenly to fill the flan case
* Sprinkle with Sesame seeds
* '''Bake in the middle of the Oven for 30 minutes at 200° C'''. Check it after 20 minutes and lower the heat to 180° if it looks too browned.
