Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 3. Blitz the flour, butter and cheddar in a food processor until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs, then add the egg and whizz again until it forms a ball.
- Lightly dust a cool surface with flour and roll out the pastry. Line a 24cm loose-bottom tart tin with the pastry, then chill for 10 mins. Line the pastry case with greaseproof paper, fill with baking beans and bake for 15 mins. Remove the paper and baking beans and continue to cook for a further 10 mins, then remove from the oven.
- Mix together the Dijon mustard and crème fraîche and spread evenly over the pastry base. Halve the tomatoes, remove the stalk and arrange in the pastry case. Sprinkle with thyme and freshly ground black pepper. Return the tart to the middle of the oven and cook for 30 mins. Reduce the heat to 150C/fan 130C/gas 2 and cook for a further 30 mins. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Tear up the two slices of bread and blend into soft breadcrumbs.
- Add the breadcrumbs, grated potato, grated cheddar cheese, spring onions, egg and salt and pepper to a large bowl and mix until properly combined.
- Add the marmite and a splash of water to a small bowl and microwave until slightly runny. Set aside.
- Dust the surface with plan flour and roll out 500g (2 cups) of shortcrust pastry into a rectangular shape the thickness of a pound coin.
- Use a 15-16cm (6 in) diameter bowl to cut out circles of the pastry.
- Brush the marmite in a circle in the middle of the circle, leaving a 2-3cm (1 in) border around the edge. Add 2-3 tbsp of the potato filling on top.
- Brush the border with egg wash and fold over into a semi circle shape, making sure it is sealed.
- Crimp the sealed edges so that the filling is extra secure. Brush with more egg wash.
- Re-roll any leftover pastry to make more!
- Bake for around 50 mins at 150°C (300°F) until golden brown.
- Enjoy!
