Build-your-own tarts make a really simple lunch, easy dinner or brunch and great for when you want to cook with kids. You can buy your favourite pizza toppings and mix and match to make so many different flavour combinations on the ready-made puff pastry base.

You can get the kids to help by choosing which toppings they like and adding their own. They're also really quick to make as they only take up to 15 minutes in the oven so you can have dinner on the table in 20 mins - which, let's face it, is an absolute dream when you've got a million other things to do!
