This tasty turkey, cranberry and brie tarts are the perfect weekend treat - serve either on their own or with a leafy green salad for an easy-to-make and tasty meal.
All you need is:
For the pastry
Lamb Brand Plain Flour 175g
Lamb Brand Table Salt, pinch
Butter 75g, plus extra for greasing
For the filling
Cooked Turkey 250g, cut into cubes
Brie Cheese 250g, cut into chunks
Double Cream 200ml
Milk 100ml
Eggs 5, beaten
Sprigs of Fresh thyme 2
Dried Cranberries 2 tbsp
Small Onion 1, finely chopped
Olive Oil 1 tbsp
Fresh Seasoning
All you have to do is:
1. To make the pastry, sift the flour together with a pinch of salt in a large bowl.
2. Rub in the butter until you have a soft breadcrumb texture.
3. Add enough cold water to make the crumb mixture come together to form a firm dough, and then rest it in the fridge for 30 minutes.
4. Roll out the pastry on a light floured surface and line a 22cm well-buttered flan dish. Don’t cut off the edges of the pastry yet. Chill again.
5. Remove the pastry case from the fridge and line the base of the pastry with baking parchment and then fill it with baking beans.
6. Place on a baking tray and bake blind in the oven at 190oC for 20 minutes.
7. Remove the beans and parchment and return to the oven for another five minutes to cook the base.
8. Meanwhile, soften the onion and thyme together in a pan with the oil for a few minutes, then transfer into the pastry base, along with the cooked turkey pieces, Brie and dried cranberries.
9. Combine the eggs with the milk and cream in a bowl and season well with salt and pepper.
10. Pour the mixture over the pastry base and bake in the oven at 160oC for a further 30-40 minutes or until set.
