Ingredients

2.5 sheets ready-rolled short crust pastry

2 eggs

1 cup cream

1/2 cup grated tasty cheese

1 teaspoon celery salt

1 zucchini, grated

1 tablespoon oil

1 large red onion, halved and finely sliced

1/4 cup white wine vinegar

2 tablespoon honey

100 gram feta cheese

Method

1.Preheat the oven to 180ºC. Cut small circles from the pastry using a cookie cutter or the rim of a glass, then line two 12-hole mini muffin trays with the pastry, pressing in to form nests. Chill trays until required.

2.In a jug, beat the eggs and cream until smooth, then stir in the cheese, salt and zucchini.

3.Fill each of the nests with the egg and zucchini mixture. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden and puffed. (Freeze at this stage, if desired.)

4.For the red onion jam, heat the oil and add the onions. Cook gently for 4-5 minutes until softened, then add the vinegar and honey and simmer for 5-8 minutes until pink and syrupy.

5.When ready to serve, heat in a hot oven for 5 minutes. Arrange on platters and top with a small slice or wedge of feta and a little red onion jam.
