Meatless Monday - Tomato, Olive and Ricotta Tarts

Makes 2 tarts

These tarts are quick, simple and full of some of my favourite things! They’re decadently delicious and look so smart, you can serve them up as a Monday night treat, or any other time when you have friends over to eat!

Ingredients

2 or  3  sheets puff pastry (you’ll have to patch up with 2 or,  have some leftovers with 3)

3/4 cup (80g) semi-dried tomatoes, coarsely chopped

3/4 cup (90g) seeded black olives

1/2 cup (120g) crumbled ricotta cheese

1/2 small red onion, sliced thinly

1/4 cup torn basil leaves

1 egg, beaten

How to

1. Preheat oven 200C/180 fan-forced. Line an oven tray with baking paper.

2. Using a 12cm round pastry cutter or saucer as a guide, cut 2 discs from 1 pastry sheet.

3. Place the pastry bases onto baking tray. Top with the tomatoes, olives, cheese, onion and basil. Brush round the edges with egg.
