List of Ingredients




1/2 of an 11-ounce package of pie crust mix

1 (2-ounce) can anchovies, drained and soaked in milk for 20 minutes, then drained and chopped

3 eggs

1 tablespoon heavy cream

3 tablespoons grated Cheddar cheese

Pinch of ground nutmeg

Salt and pepper, to taste


Recipe



1. Prepare the pie crust according to package directions. Form into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and chill for approximately 30 minutes.

2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

3. Roll out the pastry very thinly on a lightly floured surface. Cut out and use to line 12 small tart tins. Divide the anchovies equally between the pastry cases.

4. Beat the eggs in a bowl, then beat in the cream, cheese and nutmeg. Season the mixture to taste with a little salt and pepper. Carefully spoon the mixture into the pastry cases. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the filling is puffed and golden.
