Ingredients

Melted butter, for greasing
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 onions, thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 Tbsp finely chopped rosemary
2 Tbsp sugar
2 Tbsp white balsamic vinegar
8 sheets filo pastry
100g butter, melted
4 eggs
300ml thick sour cream
100g feta, crumbled

This quiche is best eaten within a couple of hours of baking. That's a great excuse for having a second portion!

Here's how:

1 Preheat oven to 180°C. Brush a lamington tin with butter. Heat oil in a heavy-based pan. Add onion, garlic and rosemary and cook over a low heat, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.

2 Add sugar and vinegar, stir until sugar has dissolved. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes until golden brown.

3 Brush 5 sheets of filo with butter and layer them all lengthways in the tin as you go, allowing pastry to hang over the sides. Brush remaining filo and fold to fit widthways across the tin.

4 Spread onion mixture evenly over pastry base. Whisk eggs and cream in a bowl, season well. Pour evenly over onion layer. Crumble feta finely over the top. Roll pastry edges in to form a border.

5 Bake for 45-50 minutes, remove from oven and stand on a wire rack for 5-10 minutes before serving.
