Ingredients:

• 500 g boerewors
• Oil for frying
• 4 eggs
• 250 ml (1 cup) milk
• 120 g (± 1 cup) cheddar cheese, grated

• 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.
