    These were delicious! And they looked so impressive as a starter served on a bed of rocket. I cheated and used ready made pastry cases which meant that this was a really quick and easy starter. Everyone loved it. The pancetta went really well with the creamy mushrooms! Will definitely be making again!!

    I love this recipe and so do all the people I've made these tarts for! They are easy to make, look great and taste amazing! I also served on a bed of rocket and added lots of freshly ground black pepper which was delicious.
