Leek, Squash and Feta Tart

Egg, gluten, lactose, milk, nightshade, nut, peanut, sesame, soya & wheat free

I came across some own brand ready-rolled free from puff pastry in Asda this week and decided to give it a try. It is wheat, gluten, dairy, soya and egg free and it comes wrapped in it's own baking paper so you just have to unroll and bake. The pastry was crispy and tasted good but it didn't puff very much and wasn't nearly as brown as the picture on the box! I may try it again with an egg wash to see if that helps the colour. Despite the lack of puff it was super simple to use and held together really well. Beware that the box states it is not suitable for freezing.
