Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Roll out the puff pastry, enough to cut out 4 circles about 12cm wide. Prick the centres all over with a fork, arrange them on baking sheets and spread 1 tbsp mascarpone on each. Fry the sliced wild or mixed mushrooms in butter, then stir in grated parmesan, leaves from 2 thyme sprigs and seasoning. Divide between the tarts and bake for 20 minutes.
  2. Softly poach the eggs and dress the watercress with olive oil, lemon juice and seasoning. To serve, top each tart with an egg and add a handful of the watercress.

    Delicious! And really easy to make. My boyfriend had his with eggs, and I had mine without as I'm not a fan, and we both thought it was lovely. Will become a regular meal in our house. Yum!
