Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Arrange tomatoes on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil and season. Roast for 20 minutes. Unroll defrosted puff pastry and press firmly into four greased individual tart cases. Brush with milk and blind bake with dried beans for 15 minutes so the pastry doesn’t puff up too much. Remove the baking beans and bake for a further 5 minutes. Remove from oven and crumble in the ricotta. Top with roasted cherry tomatoes and sprigs of thyme before baking for another 5-10 minutes. Serve hot with a green salad. Tip: Keep puff pastry in the freezer and you will always be sorted for a quick-fix quiche.
