I was looking through a cookbook my grandmother gave me and these tarts looked so mouth-watering, I just had to try them out. Cherry Tomato Tarts are a delicious way to start off your evening with friends or family. They tasted really great, so my family tell me!

Cherry Tomato Tarts

What you need

• 1 large red onion
• 375 g (13oz) packet of ready-rolled puff pastry
• 2 tbsp of milk
• 100g (4oz) of cream cheese
• 1 tbsp of olive oil
• 225g (8oz) of cherry tomatoes
• handful of fresh basil

What to do

The first thing you need to do is cut the onions into thin slices, next put the olive oil and onion in a pan over a gentle heat. Cook for around 10 minutes, stirring every now and then, until the onions are nice and soft. While the onions are cooking, unwrap the pastry and lay it in a baking tray, next cut the pastry into six pieces. Follow this by adding one tablespoon of the milk into the cream cheese and then spread the cheese over the pastry. When the onions are cooked, stir in the herbs and a pinch of salt and pepper, then you can spoon the onions over the tomatoes. When you’ve finished. you need to bake them for around 15-20 minutes, until the pastry is risen and golden brown. Leave the tarts on a baking sheet for a little while until they cool enough to eat.
