"These are just to die for!! They are great as an entree, a light lunch or dinner - with salad and bread. I found the recipe in the gardening magazine "Burke's back yard". I used phyllo pastry and tied them up. Use whatever veggies you like - eggplant, broccoli, pumpkin, swede, parsnip etc., world's your oyster kid!"

- Set aside to cool, then peel the capsic*ms and cut into smaller pieces.
- Use a saucer as a guide to cut 6 x 15cm rounds form the pastry sheets. Line 6 lightly greased 9.5cm (base measurement) 1 cup capacity pie dishes with the pastry.

All I can say is, oh my!!! These are wonderful. I used phyllo pastry. The sweet of the potatoes and the savory feta blended together for a delicious flavor. These would be an impressive addition to any dinner party.

My new favorite! This was an excellent tart. I roasted a whole bunch of veggies -- broccoli, butternut squash, corn, onion, leek, zucchini. Then stirred in a little jar of pimentos to add some red color. I used two premade piecrusts and cut them out and pressed them into 6 jumbo muffin tins. I cut the egg/cream mixture in half and it was the perfect amount. The crust/filling ratio was a touch too much on the crusty side, so next time I'm either going to make this as a quiche or I'm going to use a bigger ramekin. But I definitely will be making again!

I realised about 5 pm on Monday afternoon I had to bring a vegaterian plate for my daughters Spring Festival at her kinder tomorrow. I had everything at home so this recipe was perfect. I made half the serving but changed them to mini tarts because kids around 4/5 years of age were going to eat them. I thought it would be cute for mini hands to eat mini food. Verdict, I can't comment on the flavour because I dont eat eggs but they loved them, I had some left over but they went to other homes. Thank you Lorelle

I was born in country Victoria (Australia) and grew up in Ballarat. I have lived the rest of my life in capital cities - Melbourne, Belfast (Northern Ireland), Sydney, Canberra, before deciding to do the 'tree change' thing, and move to country Victoria. I now live in the country town of Beaufort, which has a population of about 1200 people (half out on farms) which is within commuting distance to the provincial city of Ballarat.At the age of 20 I attended William Angliss College and studied Catering and Hotel Management, which enhanced my passion for good food. Since then I've taken many a wayward turn, and have ended up here with my many animals (sheep, goats, chooks, ducks, cats, dogs & goldfish) and am loving the life that I live. My professional training was in classical french cookery, but how could anyone ignore the many ethnic influences on our food here in Australia?? I love Asian, Indian, Medditeranean, Middle Eastern foods, and must confess after a couple of years in Northern Ireland - I'm so glad they are now taking refugees! Their food will improve enormously!!
