After making my steak pie the other day I had some puff pastry left over and went hunting for a recipe to use it up and so I came across this nice little recipe from James Martin. It took minutes to make and was really delicious.
TOMATO AND MOZZARELLA TARTS
INGREDIENTS
- 250g Puff pastry
- 1 Egg, beaten
- 4 Tbsp Grain mustard
- 300g Mozzarella (I used the cooking mozzarella, if you used something like buffalo mozzarella it would be far too wet and the tart wouldn’t cook)
- 8-10 Tomatoes, sliced
- Salt and Pepper
- 2 Tbsp Thyme leaves (I used dried)
- (Optional) Olive oil and pesto for drizzling
PREPARATION
- Preheat the oven to 230°C.
- Roll out the puff pastry to a thickness of 3mm and cut into 4 even squares, place onto a greased baking sheet.
- Score a 2cm border around th pastry but do not cut all the way through and then brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg.
- Spread the mustard around the center of the pastry and then top with the mozzarella followed by the tomatoes and then sprinkle over the thyme.
- Bake the tarts for 15-20 minutes or until the pastry is cooked through.
- Serve with a rocket salad dressed with balsamic vinegar and olive oil.
