How to make these Tartlets:

Because I am all for easy and quick recipes, I am using store-bought shortcrust pastry for this recipe. I get the one that is already rolled and ready to use.

Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).

Mix the ricotta with mozzarella cheese, and then add a pinch of salt and fresh ground pepper to taste.

Get your shortcrust pastry sheet and cut it into 4 pieces of equal size.

Spread your cheese mixture evenly between your four pieces of pastry, leaving 1cm on the edges of each one so you can fold them later.

Then slice your onion, and distribute it over the cheese mixture.

Fold the edges of your pastry sheet as seen in the image below.

Beat the egg yolk, and brush the edges of your tartlets.

Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until golden.

Take your tartlets out of the oven, add the prosciutto on top of each of them, drizzle with honey and serve.
