Courgette Carrot And Red Pepper Tart

I'm not sure whether to call this a tart or a quiche, but either way it's lovely. It's great served hot with potatoes and salad, but i'm sure it'd be very tasty cold too.

Steps

Mix the flour and paprika in a bowl.
Add the butter and rub it in until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Add enough cold water to form a firm dough.
Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly.
Chill for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 200c / 400f / gas mark 6.
Roll out the pastry and line a 23cm pie dish.
Chill the case for 30 minutes , then bake blind for 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven and lower temperature to 180c / 350f / gas mark 4.
Chop the peppers into small pieces and layer them over the bottom of the pie case.
Cut the courgettes and carrots into ribbons and boil them for 2 minutes.
Pat dry and lay over the peppers.
Beat the eggs , cheese and milk together and pour this over the vegetables.
Bake for 35-40 minutes until the filling is set and golden brown.
