I am a self-taught cook. I started cooking around 18 years old. I stood in the kitchen and watched my mother, who was my biggest inspiration at the time, cook.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/4 lb. (120 g) puff pastry, or 1 sheet
  • 1 3/4 oz. (50 g) pancetta or thick bacon, diced
  • 1/2 lb. (250 g) potatoes
  • 1/2 cup (125 ml) milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary, leaves chopped

  3. On a clean work surface, roll out the puff pastry to a thickness of 2 mm (1/12 in). Cut into four equal pieces.
  4. Line four individual tartlet molds with the puff pastry, and fill the molds with the diced or sliced potatoes and pancetta or thick bacon. Put the molds on a baking sheet.
  5. In a bowl, whisk the egg together with the milk, salt and pepper, and the chopped rosemary.
  6. Pour the egg and milk mixture into the tartlet molds.
  7. Bake for about 15 minutes until the egg mixture is set and the puff pastry is golden brown.
