Ingredients:
- 500 g boerewors
- Oil for frying
- 4 eggs
- 250 ml (1 cup) milk
- 120 g (± 1 cup) cheddar cheese, grated
- Pinch of mixed dried herbs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 x 400 g roll frozen short-crust pastry, defrosted
Method:
- Preheat oven to 170°C. Remove the casing of the boerewors and roll the meat into golf ball-sized balls.
- Heat the oil in a pan and over medium heat, gently fry the boerewors balls until golden and cooked.
- In a bowl, beat eggs and add milk. Add the grated cheese and seasoning to the egg and milk mixture.
- Unroll the dough and roll out flat, cut out circles to fit your tart/muffin tin. Ensure it is big enough to cover the sides with room to spare.
- Line the pan/s with the pastry.
- To bake blind: cut pieces of baking paper larger than the pastry-lined tart tins, place over the pastry, and fill with baking beans or dry rice. Bake until the pastry is golden brown, about 15 minutes. Carefully remove the baking paper and baking beans and bake until the base is lightly colored, about 5-6 minutes longer.
- Spoon egg and cheese mixture into the pastry cases. Bake until the top browns very slightly, about 15-20 minutes. Cool before removing from the tart tin.
