Ingredients
Method

1 shortcrust pastry (packet)
2 eggs
150ml milk
50g cheddar cheese, grated
1 tsp herbs

Grease a muffin tray or bun tin
Get the children to help roll the pastry out until quite thin
Cut out 10 cm/4" circles (you could use a saucer) for lining a muffin tin or use a cookie cutter for a bun tin
Then line the tray with the pastry circles - re-roll any scraps to make more circles if needed
Beat the eggs and milk together in a jug, add the herbs and pepper (if liked)
Get the children to put a bit of grated cheese in the bottom on each pastry case, then get them to add the fillings to each pie
Pour on the egg/milk mixture until it nearly reaches the top of the pastry
Bake at 180'C/Gas mark 4 for 15-25 minutes until lightly browned
These can be served hot or cold (good in lunchboxes) and can be frozen
Other suggestions for fillings: chopped tomatoes, finely sliced leeks, flakes of tinned tuna, chopped spring onions

You will need

Muffin tin – we like this non-stick version that's available here at Amazon for under a tenner.

Cookie cutter – this set of six different-sized cookie cutters is a must for all sorts of baking – see more details here at Wilko.

Put a bit of tomato puree in the bottom of the cases to really resemble pizza

Can't believe how professional these look! I used some mixed tinned veg for quickness. Good tip about not filling the case with the egg mix.

This is my first attempt at a recipe from Netmums and what a success !! I am now making a second batch to freeze for our Easter picnic mmm mmm. I made the first batch with my daughter who came up with the idea of adding a squirt of tomato sauce into each one before the egg mixture and it was delicious :-)
