Method
Step 1
To make the shortcrust pastry, place the flour and butter in a food processor. Process until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add egg yolks and water. Process until dough just comes together. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead until smooth. Shape into a disc and cover with plastic wrap. Place in the fridge for 30 mins to rest.
Step 2
Roll out pastry on a lightly floured surface to a 3mm-thick rectangle. Line a 20cm x 30cm (base measurement) rectangular fluted tart tin with removable base with pastry. Trim edges. Place in the fridge for 15 mins to chill.
Step 3
Preheat oven to 200°C. Line pastry with baking paper and fill with pastry weights or rice. Place on a baking tray. Bake for 10 mins. Remove paper and weights. Bake for 8-10 mins or until light golden. Reduce oven to 160°C.
Step 4
Meanwhile, whisk eggs and cream in a jug. Season. Place baby broccoli and peas in a heatproof bowl. Pour over enough boiling water to cover. Drain.
Step 5
Arrange prosciutto, blue cheese and three-quarters of pea mixture in pastry case. Pour over egg mixture. Bake for 35-40 mins or until filling is just set. Cool for 5 mins. Transfer to a platter. Top with remaining pea mixture.
