It’s been way too long since I shared a savoury treat and what better than a cheesy petit four (it is basically small bite-sized treats).

Everyone loves pizza, and Since I have been meaning to make quiche for a while now I decided to club the two. A perfect treat to go with a perfect meal. Super easy to make and its basic pizza in canopies/tarts. Won’t waste your time much explaining about it, I hope I covered almost every aspect in the instructions below. Happy Baking you’ll.

Instructions

For the tarts

Start by making the tart dough. In a food processor, add refined flour, butter, salt and water as mentioned for a tart and blend it together.
Remove the mixture and knead into a soft by playable dough. Refrigerate for 30 mins in fridge, no freezer.
Roll The dough into a 1/2 cm thickness and cut into a circle so as to fit in the cupcake/tart mould. I made small tart version but you can make a single medium-sized tart using this recipe.
Note : You don't need to the grease the mould since the dough has a lot of butter in it.

For the white sauce

Add flour to the pan and saute for a minute, add butter into it and you should get a thick dough type mixture.
Add milk to it, stir and keep aside.

For the filling

In the other pan, add oil, saute garlic, chilli flakes, onion with a pinch of salt. Once the onion turns translucent, add in the capsicum and Italian herbs to it.
Add the sauce into the veggies, grate 1/2 cube of cheese and mix it well till cheese melts. Take it off the heat and fill in the tarts equally
Add some tomato ketchup and cheese from the top, some olives as well if you like.
Bake them in a preheated oven for 30 minutes at 150 degrees (20 mins) and 180 degrees (10 mins).
Add some coriander as a garnish and done. Eat hot.
