Makes | 12 |
Ingredients | 1 packet ready rolled shortcrust pastry 2 tbsp Charlie & Ivy's ColdPressed Rapeseed Oil 350g pork sausage meat 2-3 tbsp Charlie & Ivy'sHoney & Mustard Dressing, plus a little extra for brushing (see below* for more product information) 4 medium free-range eggs, beaten A few stems of fresh thyme, and a little more to garnish A twist of salt and black pepper |
Method | Preheat the oven to 190C/ 170C Fan/ 375F and grease a non-stick tart oven tray. Cut your pastry into rounds and line the tart tray with them. Pop a piece of baking paper in each pastry round and fill with ceramic baking beans, or uncooked rice or lentils. Pop into your preheated oven and bake for 8 mins, just long enough to allow the pastry to start to cook. Remove from the oven and set aside whilst you make your filling. Drizzle your oil into a non-stick frying pan and over a medium heat, fry off your sausage meat. Once cooked set aside to cool. Mix together your cooled sausage meat, eggs and 2-3 tbsp of the dressing. Add a good twist of salt and pepper and fresh thyme leaves. Spoon into your tart bases and bake in the oven for a further 8 mins. Remove and brush with a little more of the dressing and continue to cook for a further 2 mins. Serve hot or cold, on a bed of leaves garnished with some fresh thyme. |
