  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried yeast
  • 1 tablespoon oil

Instructions
 

How to make MINI TOMATO AND MOZZARELLA TARTS:

  • Sift the flour and mix with the dry yeast. Make a well in the middle.
  • Add the lightly beaten eggs, a pinch of salt, and cream and knead.
  • Gradually add the (warm) milk until you get a homogeneous dough, soft but not sticky.
  • Add a tablespoon of oil and knead a little more until smooth.
  • Leave the dough to rise for an hour in a warm place, away from drafts.
  • In the meantime, prepare the filling.
  • Boil the unpeeled sweet potato for 15-20 minutes, until a fork goes in easily.
  • Remove and put on a plate to cool. Then peel and slice thinly.
  • Mix the eggs well with salt and pepper.
  • Add the cream and homogenize.
  • For extra flavor, add a teaspoon, or less if you're not a great fan, of oregano. It will make a difference.
  • Wash the tomatoes well and cut into thin slices. Drain the whey from the mozzarella and slice.
  • Preheat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius (375 Fahrenheit).
  • Butter 8 small ramekins (preferably) or a large tart tin.
  • Roll out the dough into a rectangular sheet, half an inch thick.
  • Cut 8 roughly equal circles and place them in the 8 prepared shapes.
  • On each, put slices of potato, sprinkle with a little salt and pepper, then pour over the egg and sour cream mixture.
  • On top, place slices of tomato and mozzarella.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, until the mozzarella is nicely browned.
  • Leave in the tray for 5-10 minutes, then remove and place on a cooling tray. They can be served hot or cold.
  • Serve with a few slices of mozzarella and a sprinkle of oregano. They will be a delight, guaranteed!
  • Enjoy!
