What’s that, a savoury recipe on Pop Therapy!? Yes – you heard me – savory!! “You’ve changed man!” I hear you say….but don’t fret, these babies are just as delicious as a lemon cake (or even better, make a great prelude to a lemon cake!!).
I made these for a Sunday afternoon party and they went down a treat!! I used a store bought puff pastry which meant they were quick and easy to make – you can also try substituting different combinations of flavours instead of tomato and basil if you want some variety!!
Here is the recipe!!
Ingredients (to make 16 tarts)
- 4 sheets of frozen puff pastry
- 4 eggs, whisked
- 1 block of Danish feta cheese
- Juice of half a lemon
- Cherry tomatoes
- Fresh basil
- 1 extra egg (for brushing the pastry)
- Sea salt and cracked pepper
Method
- Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees celcius
- De-frost pastry. Cut each sheet of pastry into 4 squares
- Fold edges of pastry over to create a border – press edges of pastry with a fork to flatten
- To make filling, whisk eggs, then combine with danish feta and lemon juice
- Spoon filling in to centre of tart shells
- Top tarts with tomato and basil, then season with salt and pepper
- Brush edges of pastry with egg
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until pastry has risen and looks golden brown
