Meanwhile, heat a medium non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cook bacon, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add shallots, cook, stirring for a further 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.

Lightly spray a 20 cm springform round tin with oil. Lightly spray one sheet of pastry with oil and carefully lift into prepared tin, to cover base and extend up sides of tin. Repeat with remaining pastry sheets, overlapping them slightly to completely cover base and side of tin. Fold the overhanging pastry into the side of tin to form a neat pastry case.
