1small onion, finely chopped
2clovesgarlic, grated or crushed
150gfresh spinach
30gVesterhavsost or parmesan, finely grated

Instructions
Grease the tins well with a little oil.
Divide the pastry into 6 equal pieces and press the pastry into the tins. Trim the excess pastry from the edges.If you are using ready-made pastry and it is round, divide it into 4 pieces, then gather the trimmings you cut off while lining the tins, roll them out again and use them for the last 2 tins.If you are using ready-made pastry and it is rectangular, it will stretch comfortably to 6 tins.
Prick the bases with a fork and blind bake them in a preheated conventional oven (top and bottom heat) at 180°C for about 8-10 minutes.If you like, lay a small piece of baking parchment over each pastry case and fill with dried beans or similar before blind baking – this helps the pastry keep its shape.
Meanwhile, heat a frying pan and sweat the onion and garlic in a little oil until soft and translucent.
Add the spinach and cook until it wilts and releases its liquid. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Set aside.
Whisk the eggs and milk together and season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
Divide the spinach and grated cheese between the blind-baked pastry cases, top with the tomatoes and then pour the egg mixture over the filling - it should come right up to the edge of the pastry.
Return the tarts to the oven and bake for a further 30-35 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
Let them cool slightly before removing them from the tins.
Place a spoonful of burrata on top, drizzle with olive oil and, if you like, scatter with chilli flakes, basil leaves and freshly ground pepper.
