Vegetable Tarts
These can be made with other ingredients if broccoli or tomatoes are not so popular. Peas work well as do little pieces of chicken or bacon.

Ingredients
A knob of butter for greasing
A piece of broccoli
12 small tomatoes
1 spring onion
100g feta cheese
3 eggs
2 sheets of puff pastry
Method
Pre heat your oven to 200ºC/gas mark 6. Grease 12 holes in a bun tin. You can do this using a piece of baking parchment with a little butter on it. This will stop the tarts from sticking and help them to pop out of the tin at the end of baking.
Carefully cut the broccoli into small pieces and put these into a steamer. Ask an adult to place this over a pot of water on the hob and steam the broccoli until it is beginning to go soft.
Next you can cut each of the tomatoes into four pieces.
Cut the ends off the spring onion then carefully slice it.
Cut the pastry sheets into 12 squares and put these into the holes in the bun tin. Press them down slightly so they look like little tart cases.
Crack the eggs into a big bowl and crumble the feta cheese into it. You can also stir in the slices of spring onion. Add a little bit of salt and pepper.
Put some broccoli and four pieces of tomato into each puff pastry tart. Gently pour the egg mixture on top.
Ask an adult to place the bun tin into the heated oven. Bake for about 25 minutes until the pastry is golden and the egg is firm.
Allow your tarts to cool down, when they are cool enough to handle gently pop each one out of the bun tin with a butter knife.
