Ingredients:

  • 1 corncob 
  • 175g ricotta

  1. Preheat oven to 210ºC.
  2. Cook corncob in a saucepan of boiling salted water for 5 minutes or until tender. Drain and cool under running water.

  4. Spread 1/4 of ricotta mixture over each square, leaving a 1.5cm border. Fold in border on two opposite sides, then repeat, folding in remaining opposite sides. Top with tomato halves and season to taste.
  5. Brush tarts with beaten egg, then bake for 15-20 minutes or until pastry is golden. Serve immediately or at room temperature, drizzled with a little olive oil.
