Method

+
Cheese and Onion Tart

In a bowl, mix the yogurt, goat cheese, egg, and egg yolk.

Add the salt and pepper, then fold in all the solid ingredients (onion, spinach, olives, basil, rosemary).

Lay a single sheet of filo pastry on the table, brush with olive oil, and sprinkle over 1/3 of the rosemary, a little Maldon salt, and pepper.

Place the second sheet of filo on top, repeat the brushing and seasoning, then do the same with the third sheet.

Cut the layered filo into 10 squares and line mini cake moulds with them.

Bake in the oven at 160°C for 6–8 minutes until semi-cooked.

Remove from the oven, fill with the prepared mixture, and bake at 170°C for 10 minutes until cooked through.
