Preheat the oven to 180C/Fan
160C/ Gas4. In a food processor, whizz the nuts until
chopped. Add the pastry and whizz again. Remove, wrap in
cling film and chill for 20 mins.

On a floured work surface,
roll out the pastry to the thickness of a pound coin. Cut
in half and use to line 2 x 12cm fluted tart tins. Prick
the bases with a fork, then line with non-stick baking
paper and baking beans.
-
Bake for 15 mins. Remove the
beans and paper, then bake for 10 mins more. Remove and
leave to cool slightly. Reduce the oven to 170C/ Fan 150C/
Gas 3.

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a
frying pan. Add the peppers and thyme and cook over a
medium heat for 15 mins, or until softened. Leave to cool
a little. Combine the eggs and cream in a jug.
-
Divide the peppers and egg
mixture between the pastry cases. Scatter over the cheese
and bake for 10-15 mins, or until set. Serve with salad
leaves.
