  Delicious! I used a square cake tin, which made rolling and cutting the pastry to fit a bit easier, as I struggle with even ready made pastry! Substituted dried thyme as I had no fresh. Will definitely make this again!

  I made this on Sunday and served it with BBQ'd meat, Delia Smith's Piedmont Roasted Peppers and Asparagus. Everyone thought it was great so I'll definately make it again.

  Delicious! Served with a simple green salad for veggie and meat eaters, all loved it. Ended up with extra goats cheese.

  We liked this a lot, but I think it's slightly too sweet and will reduce the brown sugar next time.

  really really tasty and great as a dinner party starter. I found that even with extra cooking the pastry was soggy. What did I do wrong? Not sure if i rolled it thin enough but i had a lot of extra pastry after having cut the rounds so surely that cant be it?

  Made this just before Christmas for a buffet for my parents and the in-laws, fist time I'd ever tried something like this but it was lovey. Also had some leftovers cold out of the fridge the next day and just as nice. Same as above though the pastry was rather soggy and when I turned out there was some liquid that spilled over the plate but would definetly make again so something a bit different to a quiche. The shallots took a very long time to peel though....1

  This was really nice. I was sort of intimidated at first as I'd never boiled shallots this way, or cooked a tart upside down the way the recipe requires. But it was very easy! And of course... tasty. Will def be adding this to our list of possible Sunday suppers.
