Short crust pastry made with
6oz plain flour
3oz butter

Filling

oil for frying
3 large onions, very thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic (or a handful of wild garlic leaves cut into strips)
3 eggs (I like it made with one duck and two chicken eggs)
7 fl oz/200ml double cream
3oz (or a bit more) cheese - smoked cheddar works very well, grated
salt and pepper

Make the pastry and line a buttered flan dish.

Gently fry the onions and regular garlic if using for a long time, until all sweet and caramelised.
Allow to cool a little.
Beat the eggs, cream, cheese salt and pepper.
Add the soft onions and wild garlic if using
Pour the mixture into the pastry case and bake at 200c for 1/2 hour until risen and golden.

This is a Sam Stern recipe. He suggests using lightly steamed asparagus as an alternative too.

Our wild garlic isn't really up enough yet, but will try to use some this year. We certainly have enough.

the tri corner leek is far less seasonal than wild garlic and a fair substitute

Haven't seen that. It is an invasive species isn't it?

The three cornered leek is terrible in some areas of the south west - it becomes the only thing growing in that area. I ended up with some by the compost heap - I assume it came in on a bought plant or something and have been trying to get rid of it since. You can eat it, but its not garlicky at all, more like chives or leeks.
