HOW TO MAKE SQUASH, SAGE AND TALEGGIO TART
Method
- Heat the oven to 220 C, 200 C fan, 425 F, gas 7. With a sharp knife, score a rectangle about 1cm (½in) inside the edge of the pastry. Score this rim in a criss-cross pattern. Chill for 20 minutes.
- Put the squash into a roasting tin with the garlic, onion and red pepper, drizzle over the olive oil and roast for 20 minutes until tender and beginning to char.
- Meanwhile, brush the pastry rim with egg and pierce the central pastry rectangle several times with a fork. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden.
- Turn the oven down to 180 C, 160 C fan, 350 F, gas 4. Arrange the vegetables on top of the cooked pastry with the Taleggio and sage leaves. Season and bake for 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and everything warmed through.
