FREE FORM TART

My girls came home from their cooking class at school wanting me to make sure that we had all the ingredients so we could make them one night for dinner.I must admit however when they said they wanted to make "Free Form Tarts" I didn't have a clue what they would look like or consist of. I am happy to say,we made them and the photo below is the result. All I can say is they were absolutely beautiful and I would make them again without any hesitation. As one of the girls said, you could use whatever fillings you liked and that it is very similar to a pizza yet lighter and tastier.

4 sheets Puff Pastry
4 T Tomato Paste
4 slices Ham, sliced
16 pieces Pineapple
1 Onion, diced
1/2 Capsicum, diced
2 Mushrooms, sliced
1 1/3 cup grated Cheese

GLAZE:-

1 beaten Egg

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees celsius and spray oven trays with
    cooking spray.

2. Using a plate as a guide, cut out a 20cm round from each of the pastry
    sheets. Place rounds on oven trays.

3. Spread tomato paste over the pastry, leaving a 4cm border around the
    outside edge.

4. Sprinkle with the filling, then, using your hands, turn the 4cm edge round
    over the edge of the filling.
