      Okay found a tomato brie tart recipe that suggests puff pastry, sliced tomato and sliced brie (duh). So here's the beetroot version I've come up with. Beetroot is quite tough when raw so best to cook first.

      Savoury
      Fresh made or shop bought short crust pastry (or puff if you prefer) - enough to line your tin, usually about 8oz or 250gm for average pie dish/tin

      8oz/250gm cooked beetroot - fresh cooked is definitely best, I grow my own beetroot but lots of shops sell them fresh now. Slice the greens off, scrub (I don't peel them but you can), then thick slice and steam or boil about 30 mins.

      8oz/250gm brie sliced

      4 eggs lightly beaten with 4oz/125gm/half-cup cream

      2 tablespoons fresh basil finely chopped

      salt and pepper

      Method

      Line tin with pastry. Blind bake for 10 mins in 200 Celsius oven/ 400 Fahrenheit.

      Put layers of brie and beetroot and sprinkling of basil, finish up with beetroot. Season each layer with pepper, salt optional.

      Pour egg/cream mix over then bake for 20 mins at 180 Celsius/ 350 Fahrenheit.

      I think a sweet version (similar to pumpkin pie) would work as well since beetroot and chocolate cake is so good. I'll have to experiment with that.
