French Mustard Tart Recipe

This one is great for a quick lunch when you’ve not much left in your fridge but still want something damn tasty. My mam used to make this quite a lot and this tart remains very close to my heart. 

Ingredients:

• pastry base (short crust or puff will work great here),
• dijon mustard,
• 1 large tin of tuna
• a small packet of grated cheese
• ripe tomatoes.
• 1 table spoon of herbes de provence. 

Method:

• Pre-heat the oven to 180 C.
• Roll out the pastry into the dish and prick all over the base with a fork.
• Blind bake for 10 to 15 min. 
• Take the pastry out of the oven and spread about 3 teaspoons of dijon mustard on the base of the pastry. 
• Add the drained tuna and sprinkle it over the mustard. 
• Add your grated cheese over the tuna.
• Place your sliced tomatos atop and season them with the herbes de provence. 
• It looked like this before the oven.

The finished product should look something like this:

This works best with a simple green salad on the side.
