Instructions
- Place the flour, butter and salt in a bowl and rub the mix together until it resembles coarse sand. You can do this in the food processor too.
- Add water (1 tbsp at a time), and mix well until it starts to form a ball - It only took about 5 tbsp of water for me.
- Place the dough ball on a floured surface, and bring it together to form a dough and then flatten it out to a disc. Wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes - up to overnight. Remove the dough from the fridge and let it soften (if you keep it in the fridge overnight).
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- On a well floured surface, roll out till you have a rectangle that’s about 18 inches in length and about a foot wide. Cut this into 24 parts (4 strips lengthwise and 6 strips across).
- Spray a mini muffin tray with non stick spray. Place each square in the mini muffin cavity and press it down using your fingers or a tart tamper. The four corners will be sticking out, and that's OK. You can trim it if you like though.
- Dock the dough using a fork. Bake in the pre-heated oven for 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool down while you get the filling ready.
- Drain the liquid as much as possible from your can of tuna. Place the tuna in a bowl, along with the chopped onion, serrano pepper, tomatoes, lemon juice and black pepper.
- Next, mix all the ingredients of the egg custard in a bowl and set aside.
- Spoon a little bit of the tuna filling into each mini tart (a small amount, leaving room for the custard).
- Then add a little custard into the mini tarts using a measuring spoon to fill to the top.
- Top with the remaining tuna filling, and sprinkle chopped dill and shredded cheese on top.
- Return to the oven to bake for a further 15-20 minute, until the cheese starts to bubble and brown at the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool until it's cool to the touch. Serve warm or at room temperature.
- Before serving, add a dollop of sour cream and another sprinkle of chopped dill (optional).
