How to Make Leek, Mushrooms and Tomato Tartlets
First off, prepare your filling by sautéing the mushrooms and leeks in butter until soft. (Add this on toast). Jokes, but yes, you can totally put that on toast!
Next get the egg and mayo mixture going and add the cooked mushrooms and leeks. This is the filling for the puff pastry squares, topped with sliced cherry tomatoes.
Finally all you need to do is to roll out your pastry and cut into similar sized squares. Score a line of about 2cm from each end of the squares into the pastry, careful not to cut right through. This will ensure the little pastry lid puff up all around the edges. Serve these babies with a side salad or these spicy Sweet Potato Wedges, and you have MeatlessMonday in the bag…
