Mini Leek Tarts

---

I decided to make traditional leek tart in a slightly non traditional way, few mini tarts instead of one, big round tart. I made it that way so my other half would eat it too. He’s not much of a veggie guy so i mixed in some ham to his portion. That way i had my vegetarian leek tarts and he had ham and leek ones.

Roll out the puff pastry and cut out nine uniform squares.

Place each square in the muffin pan like on a picture.
