Ingredients
1 sheet puff pastry or shortcrust pastry
100 g chorizo (mild or spicy)
150 g goat cheese (log or fresh)
2 eggs
200 ml heavy cream
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 tbsp honey (optional)
Fresh basil or arugula, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease tartlet molds.
- Roll out the pastry on a floured surface and cut into circles to fit the molds. Press into molds and prick bottoms with a fork.
- Slice chorizo into small rounds or dice, and slice goat cheese thinly.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, salt, and pepper.
- Arrange chorizo pieces in each pastry shell, top with goat cheese slices, then pour the egg-cream mixture over.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden and set.
- Let cool slightly before unmolding. Optionally, drizzle with honey and garnish with basil or arugula before serving.
Notes
- Make vegetarian by replacing chorizo with sun-dried tomatoes, roasted peppers, or caramelized onions.
- Try different cheeses like feta, blue cheese, or mozzarella.
- Use phyllo dough instead of puff pastry for a lighter base.
- Mini versions baked in muffin tins make great cocktail bites.
- Store in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in oven for best texture.
