"I am not sure where I found this recipe, but I have been making them for years. These are great appetizer's and freeze so well. The family loves these for a quick and easy snack after work or school. Parmesan cheese can be substituted for cheddar if you prefer. Finely chopped spring onions, can also be added or substituted for basil. I have included tips on freezing below."

Step 1
Preheat oven to 180°C.

Grease two tartlet trays with 12 holes in each tray.

Use a 7cm (3in) round cookie cutter to cut circles from the pastry then place into tartlet holes.

In another bowl whisk together the eggs and sour cream salt and pepper, then spoon a small amount into each pastry shell.

Step 7
Bake in preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. (If freezing see cooking tip below.).
