Dinner this evening is a speedy, full of flavour tart with a little taste of the Mediterranean. I tend to find pastry is always in the reduced section of the supermarket, so it can be made into a very cheap dinner in no time, by adding just a few ingredients- some we always have in, plus a wee bit of cheese- in this case Feta- from a salad dish we had the day before. Why not add some chopped olives for that true Mediterranean taste? As with lots of our recipes, this one is easy to adapt to you and your families tastes by swapping out the Feta for cheddar or the red onions for white etc. I'm having with couscous and a spinach salad so didn't add to the tart itself, but feel free to add in some spinach or parsley if you prefer. Why not give this a try and let us know how you get on in the comments below. We love to hear your feedback. E x

or some crusty bread.
Easy Swaps:-
