Pizzette with pastry

A quick one to entertain guests, an ideal party item or an easy bite. Instead of using the traditional pizza dough I substituted this with ready to use shortcrust pastry.

Pizzette with bacon and courgettes

Ingredients for 4 persons:

• 1 packet ready to use shortcrust pastry (250g)
• 200g small courgettes
• 100g bacon, thinly sliced
• 60g grated parmesan
• pepper

Wash the courgettes and slice thinly then cut into 1cm fingers. In a mixing bowl, combine the courgettes and grated parmesan. Season with pepper and mix well.

Open the shortcrust pastry and cut circles of 6–8 cm diameter with a pastry cutter. Leave pastry on the baking sheet provided with the packet.

Place a bacon slice on each of the pastry discs leaving the borders free. Add the courgettes mixture and cook in a pre-heated oven of 220° Celsius and cook for around 15–20 minutes depending on the packet instructions. Serve warm.
