This vibrant fresh corn quiche is a wonderful way to celebrate the natural sweetness of seasonal vegetables. By using fresh corn kernels and a touch of onion, this vegetarian dish offers a delightful textural contrast to the smooth, creamy custard base. It is a lighter, more refreshing take on the classic savoury tart, making it an excellent choice for a summer lunch or a weekend brunch when served alongside a crisp green salad.

Quick to prepare using a few store-cupboard staples and a pre-prepared pastry case, this recipe is ideal for busy weeknights or as a stress-free addition to a garden party spread. The addition of a little sugar enhances the sweetness of the corn, while the single cream ensures a silky finish that isn't too heavy. Serve it warm from the oven to enjoy the filling at its most delicate and puffed.
