    Instructions

    1 Preheat oven to 180°C. Spray a 20cm quiche or tart tin with oil, or line an oven tray with baking paper.

    2 On a floured surface, roll pastry out slightly thinner to line tin. Gently press into place and trim excess. Alternatively, place pastry sheet on lined tray, fold 2cm edges up and pinch corners together to form a square case. Lightly spray edges with oil.

    3 In a blender, blitz garlic and herbs until finely chopped. Add the cottage cheese, eggs and parmesan and blitz again until smooth.

    4 Carefully pour the mixture over the tart base and gently smooth the surface with a spatula. Carefully scatter over ¼ of the tomatoes. Bake in the oven for
    20 minutes, then scatter over the remaining tomatoes and return to the oven a further 5-10 minutes or until filling is set.

    5 In a large salad bowl, toss together mesclun, red onion, cucumber and dressing to combine. Sprinkle pumpkin seeds over top.

    6 When tart is cooked, serve with herbs and salad.
