Easter bunny tartlets recipe

Prep time: 15 mins plus 15 mins freezing time
Cooking time: 10-15 mins
Makes 12

Ingredients

2 sheets ready-rolled frozen puff pastry, partially thawed
½ x 250g tub spreadable cream cheese
1 tsp all-purpose seasoning
1 tsp sesame seeds
Salt and pepper, to season 
Savoury toppings, to serve – we topped ours with two flavour combos; 1) Smoked salmon, cucumber and micro herbs, 2) Crispy bacon, avocado, chilli jam and micro herbs.

What you do:

1. Place one sheet of pastry onto a clean, dry chopping board. Spread 1 ½ Tablespoons of the cream cheese in a thin layer, all the way to edges. Sprinkle seasoning and sesame seeds over the top. Place the second pastry sheet on top, pressing down firmly. Use the tip of a fork to crimp the edges, sealed. 

2. Cut square into 12 strips. To do this, cut pastry square in half to form 2 rectangles. Cut each rectangle in half again to create 4 rectangles, then cut each into three strips to form 12 strips in total.  

3. Working with one strip at a time, turn the strip on its side so the filling is visible. Bend it around to form a ‘U’ shape. Pinch together, around half way up forming a circle at the base. Bend the top pastry ends outwards and down to create floppy bunny ears. Transfer to a baking paper lined tray. Repeat with remaining pastry strips. Freeze for at least 15 minutes or overnight if more convenient, until pastry is firm again.

4. Arrange 4-6 bunnies, in a single layer, in the basket of the Philips XXL airfryer with Smart Sensing Technology. Set temperature to 200°C and time to 5 minutes cooking until puffed and golden. Remove from the basket and set aside on a serving platter. Repeat this step with remaining bunnies. 

5. Spoon remaining cream cheese into the circle of each pastry. Top with your choice of savoury toppings. 

6. Serve with a sprinkle of salt and freshly ground black pepper.

COOK’S TIP – You’ll fit between 4-6 bunnies in a single layer in your Airfryer basket. It just depends on how much room your individual bunny ears take up.

AIRFRYER CRISPY BACON – Place a couple of rasher of bacon into the basket of the airfryer. Set temperature to 200°C and time to 7 minutes cooking until crispy.
