Tomato Tartlets

Last week Dexter had chicken pocks which meant I was stuck at home rather more than I am used to! Instead of spending the morning in the gym like usual, I decided to see what I had in my freezer and fridge that I could turn into a healthy lunch! And these tartlets were the yummy result!

Recipe for Tomato Tartlets
(Makes 3)

+/- 6 tomatoes - skinned and sliced thickly
3 Sheets of frozen Puff Pastry (defrosted)
onion - chopped
1 and a half tsp olive oil
1tsp Balsamic Vinegar
Basil Leaves
Salt and Pepper
Milk for glazing pastry

Heat oil in a pan and add the chopped onions and cook until soft
Add the skinned and sliced tomatoes
Cook down a bit, add balsamic vinegar.
Add some torn up basil leaves. 
Meanwhile, gently score a square shape, being careful not to cut through the pastry, about 2 cm away from the edge of the pastry square.
Spoon the tomato mixture into this square
Brush the exposed pastry edge with a little milk
Add salt and pepper to the tartlets that are not destined for kids!!
Cook in a preheated oven (180 degrees) for about 20 mins - or until pastry is golden. 


YUMMY :-)
