Ingredients

  • 1 roll chilled Co-op puff pastry

  • 1 bunch spring onions, finely chopped
  • 2 x 125g coop soft log goat's cheese

Method

  1. Unroll the puff pastry and cut into squares (about 12 unless you want mini tarts)

  5. Place the cheese mixture into the center square, top with the halved tomatoes and bake in oven for about 20 mins at 175°C or until pastry is light brown and crisp and the cheese has melted
  6. Top with a little relish (optional) and enjoy with a fresh green rocket or baby leaf salad
