BEST EVER FOOD SHOW BANANA TART

Inspired by the fabulous artisan exhibitors at the Food Show, I made this oh-so-easy banana tart on the Celebrity Chef stage in Auckland this month. Every item could be found at the show.

• 1 packet Paneton pre-rolled flaky pastry, thawed
• 2 SPCA approved Blue Tick large eggs
• 6 All Good Fairtrade bananas
• 4 tbsps Heilala vanilla syrup

• 100mls Collective Dairy Straight Up natural unsweetened yogurt

  Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the pastry on a baking sheet. Beat the eggs lightly and brush the surface of the pastry with the egg. Slice the bananas diagonally and lay over the surface of the pastry in a single layer. Brush with the remaining egg. Place in the pre-heated oven, raising the temperature by 10°C. Bake for 20 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden. Remove form the oven and pour the vanilla syrup over the bananas and finish with generous dollops of the yogurt. Serve warm. Serves 8.
