Caprese Tart
The inspo for this one came from the Woolworths Fresh magazine, which I’m obsessed with collecting because the recipes it features are so good.
It also means I don’t have to constantly think of dinner ideas.
This one was a Sunday treat & extremely easy. It would make for a bangin’ midweek dinner.
It has minimal ingredients, is simple to prep, but most importantly, packs a punch in terms of flavour. It was so good I made two!
I would say this serves 4 people better than 6, so if you’re a big eater like me, the macros & calories will be a little higher. Give it a go & let me know what you think!
