Bread Case Salmon Pies
(makes 6)

Ingredients
6 slices white bread
25g butter
2 Tbsp plain flour
3/4 cup milk
200g canned pink salmon, drained and flaked
salt and pepper
1 Tbsp chopped chives
1/4 cup grated cheese


Method

1) Preheat oven to 180C. Lightly grease a 6-hole muffin tray.

2) Trim the crusts from the bread and press gently into the tray holes. Bake for 15 mins or until the edges are crisp and golden.

3) Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add in the flour and using a whisk, stir quickly to make a paste.

4) Slowly add milk, whisking until combined and free of lumps. Bring to the boil and continue to whisk for a further 2 mins or until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.

5) Stir in flaked salmon and chives. Season with salt and pepper.

6) Spoon into bread cases and top with grated cheese.

7) Place in the oven and bake for another 15 mins.

Breakfast Tart

This is a little twist to your usual breakfast bacon and eggs on toast. So instead of having them on bread, why not serve them on pastry for a change! Yum!

You can even call it Breakfast Pizza! Sunny side UP!

Breakfast Tart
(Serves 4)

Ingredients

4 bacon rashers, cut into 3 pieces
2 sheets frozen puff pastry
2 Tbsp pizza sauce or tomato paste
1 small egg, lightly whisked (to use as egg wash to brush)
8 small eggs
1 Tbsp parsley, finely chopped

Method

1) Preheat oven to 200C and line two oven trays with baking paper.

2) Cook bacon, in batches, in a non-stick frying pan over moderately high heat for 3 mins or until lightly browned. Drain on paper towel.

3) Place pastry on prepared trays. For each tart, score a 2cm border around edge of pastry. Brush border with a little egg wash. Prick a few places in the centre with a fork. Spread half the pizza sauce over pastry within the marked border. Top with half the bacon.

4) Bake for 10 mins. One by one, crack the eggs into a cup, then gently pour onto tarts. Bake for a further 5-8 mins or until yolks are cooked to your liking. 

5) Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve!
