Ingredients:

• 500 g boerewors
• Oil for frying
• 4 eggs
• 250 ml (1 cup) milk
• 120 g (± 1 cup) cheddar cheese, grated
• Pinch of mixed dried herbs
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 x 400 g roll frozen short-crust pastry, defrosted

Method:

• Spoon egg and cheese mixture into the pastry cases. Bake until the top browns very slightly, about 15-20 minutes. Cool before removing from the tart tin.
• Preheat oven to 170°C. Remove the casing of the boerewors and roll the meat into golf ball-sized balls.
• Heat the oil in a pan and over medium heat, gently fry the boerewors balls until golden and cooked.
• In a bowl, beat eggs and add milk. Add the grated cheese and seasoning to the egg and milk mixture. 
• Unroll the dough and roll out flat, cut out circles to fit your tart/muffin tin. Ensure it is big enough to cover the sides with room to spare.
• Line the pan/s with the pastry.

To bake blind:

• cut pieces of baking paper larger than the pastry-lined tart tins.
• place over the pastry, and fill with baking beans or dry rice.
• Bake until the pastry is golden brown, about 15 minutes.
• Carefully remove the baking paper and baking beans and bake until the base is lightly coloured, about 5-6 minutes longer.
