I've half a pack of puff pastry in the freezer and it's time to make space for more goodies.

So, what to make?

One idea which looks quick and simple is called Puff Pizza Tart and it's from the BBC Good Food website, always a good source of inspiration (http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/679637/puff-pizza-tart).


    Puff pizza tart
  1. Roll out puff pastry and line a tin, prick.
  2. Spread pesto over it.
  3. Then put on slices of salami and torn pieces of mozzarella cheese.
  4. Dribble a little olive oil on top and cook at 220/200/Gas 7 for about 20 minutes.
  5. Serve with some rocket sprinkled on top.

...and here's a similar recipe which includes chicken, spinach, tomato (http://allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/12171/chicken--spinach-and-pesto-puff-pastry-open-tart.aspx).

Another idea for spare bits of puff pastry is to roll it out thinly, spread with marmite (or pesto) and then roll up. Chill, then cut into slices and cook.  This recipe includes ham and cheese too:  http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1463/pizza-puff-pinwheels


When I was little, I was given any leftover pieces of pastry and made them into jam tarts.  Here's Jamie Oliver's take on this old favourite: http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/fruit-recipes/rainbow-jam-tarts
