===Method===
{{RecipeMethod

| Heat the [[Oil|oil]] in a [[Frying pan|frying pan]] or [[Wok|wok]] and add a good pinch of [[Black pepper|black pepper]]
| [[Saute]] the [[Oil|oil]] over a low heat until soft and transparent. Do not allow it to [[Brown|brown]]
| Add the [[Crushed garlic|crushed garlic]] and [[Stir-fry|stir-fry]] for the last few minutes
| Remove from the heat and set aside and allow to cool
| Crumble the [[Blue cheese|blue cheese]] into a bowl and mix in the [[Cream cheese|cream cheese]]
| Stir in the [[Flour|flour]], [[Egg yolks|egg yolks]], cooled cooked [[Onions|onions]] and [[Garlic|garlic]], chopped [[Chives|chives]] and season with a pinch of [[Salt|salt]], not too much as the [[Blue cheese|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|olive oil]] or [[Butter|butter]]
| Sprinkle the [[Grated|grated]] [[Cheddar cheese]] over the prepared [[Pastry|pastry]] and dust with the [[Curry powder|curry powder]]
| Use a [[Rolling pin|rolling pin]] to press this into the [[Pastry|pastry]]
| Line the base of the tin with the disc of [[Pastry|pastry]], [[Cheese|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|cheese]] side up.
| Crimp the two pieces of [[Pastry|pastry]] together with your fingers so they make a good seal
| In another bowl, whisk the [[Egg whites|egg whites]] until they create still peaks and sprinkle with a little [[Salt|salt]] and [[Pepper|pepper]]
| Gently fold the [[Egg whites|egg whites]] into the [[Cheese|cheese]] mixture and spread evenly to fill the flan case
| Sprinkle with [[Sesame seeds|sesame seeds]]
| '''[[Bake]] in the middle of the [[Oven|oven]] for 30 minutes at 200° C'''. Check it after 20 minutes and lower the heat to 180° if it looks too browned.
