Savoury bakes
Tarts, quiches, pies, galettes… We have a wide array of savoury bakes for when then baking bug hits, but you fancy something savoury rather than sweet. Our favourite savoury bakes are great vehicles for in-season veg – see our asparagus, pea shoot and butter bean tart for spring or caramelised sprout tart for winter. In need of some comfort? Try Marcus Wareing’s roasted onion tarte tatin with cheddar mascarpone.
Need dinner in a hurry? We have lots of speedy puff pastry options, such as these cheese, bacon and pesto puffs – as well as posher ideas ideal for a dinner party or special picnic. Try this elegant crab, feta and chard quiche from food writer Melissa Thompson. We’ve also got classics including pissaladière and our ultimate quiche lorraine, plus a vegan version with mushrooms and spinach.
