Equipment

  • Baking tray 20cm x 30cm
  • Oven
  • Whisk
  • Frying pan
  • Stovetop

Ingredients

  • 2 sheets puff pastry
  • 1 sweet potato small
  • ½ red onion
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 cup Greek yoghurt
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon garlic granules
  • 200 g diced bacon
  • ½ cup baby peas
  • 100 g feta
  • ½ bunch coriander
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lemon
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 220 C and oil or line a baking tray with baking paper and puff pastry.
    2 sheets puff pastry
  • Peel sweet potato, slice into quarters lengthwise then slice into half cm slices. Peel onion and slice into wedges as thin as you can.
    1 sweet potato, ½ red onion
  • Whisk together eggs, Greek yoghurt, nutmeg, garlic granules and half a teaspoon of salt (opt).
    6 eggs, 1 cup Greek yoghurt, 1 teaspoon nutmeg, 1 teaspoon garlic granules
  • Heat a frying pan on high. Cook bacon, stirring occasionally, until just browned. Meanwhile, continue to the next step.
    200 g diced bacon
  • Evenly spread sweet potato, peas, and red onion over pastry.
    1 sweet potato, ½ red onion, ½ cup baby peas
  • Pour over egg mixture, crumble over feta cheese, sprinkle over the bacon. Fold over any pastry overhang and put in the oven for 22 minutes.
    TIP: Don’t worry if the egg doesn’t go all the way to the edge of the tray. Use your spatula to gently spread it. Don’t overfill your tray - the egg will puff up.
    100 g feta
  • While the tart is in the oven, roughly chop coriander. Drizzle over olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper and toss.
    ½ bunch coriander, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 lemon, Salt and pepper
  • Serve the tart topped with heaped chopped lemony coriander for adults, and chopped into pieces for little ones.
