    Smoked fish and sweetcorn combined with a a rich egg mixture and incased in a perfectly crisp tartlet case. These Smoked Fish and Sweetcorn Tartlets are so good, I bet you can't stop at one!

    I can't decide if these should be a brunch idea, a canapรฉ idea, an appetiser idea or a lunch idea!!! They are pretty much perfect for all occasions! AND they are delicious!! Totally delicious!

    Smoked fish is such a wonderful thing, it instantly adds depth and substance to a dish. The flavour profile goes pow and your mouth is watering! Team it with delicious sweet corn and you are hitting a higher level. Add in horseradish and the dish rockets into the realms of perfection.

    When Mr 8 first started eating solids, I would often cook him mashed potato, peas, sweetcorn and a little bit of smoked fish. All mixed together it was so delicious that we could both eat it for tea. Well he would smear it about his highchair as well as eat it!!! But hey, most of it ended up in his mouth!

    I once watched my Dad feeding him and every now and again he would eat a spoonful himself ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Mr 5 enjoyed the same dish when he started solids. Although somewhere along the line it went a little wrong as neither of them will eat sweetcorn now!!!!

    But hey, that just means more of these delicious yummy scrumptious tartlets for me!

    When I came up with these I envisage them being a canapรฉ/snack, something crispy and delicious to nibble whilst you sip a glass of bubbly. But I would love to be served these for breakfast! Maybe in bed with a nice coffee and a glass of bucks fizz! Ha!!!! When is Mother's day again????

    They definitely work as an appetiser and to be honest they are great for just eating at any time of day!! ๐Ÿ˜‰ Although if you are having them as an afternoon snack then maybe swerve the champagne. (At least until after the school pick up ๐Ÿ˜‰ )

    You can make the tartlet cases unto 48 hours in advance: Once you have crisped them in the oven, allow them to cool and then transfer to an airtight container until needed.

    And the tarts will keep in the fridge for 24 hours. Just bring them to room temp before serving.

      Hi Claire! You have a perfect flavor combination here! Unfortunately I can only get smoked salmon here, but I think that would pair nicely with the other ingredients. What do you think of using puff pastry for the shells? Hand held food is so much more fun, which equates to pick it up and stuff it in my face! And since my children are grown and gone 4:00 o'clock sounds perfect to start with the bubbly!

        I think these would work perfectly with smoked salmon ๐Ÿ™‚
        Puff pastry might work, I think you would need to really prick the base to stop it puffing up too much, otherwise there wouldn't be much space for the yummy filling ๐Ÿ˜€

        Crack open that bubbly I'll be over shortly!!!
