Method

Heat olive oil in a pan and lightly fry spring onions and garlic for a minute. Add corn and fry for another two minutes, then add cream. Keep cooking until cream reduces by half and thickens. Add half the grated parmesan and season with salt and pepper. Fill tart shells with corn-and-cream mixture and sprinkle the tops with rest of the parmesan. Place into a preheated 180C for 8-10 minutes.
