Greengage and tonka tart 💚

Rich, buttery palet breton • tonka crème diplomate • lightly spiced greengage compote • fresh greengages

I was on the hunt for mirabelles when I stumbled across these lovely British greengages (reines-claudes).

The palets bretons were made with salted butter from Wensleydale Creamery. Usually I would bake with unsalted butter but I think that might be a crime in Brittany/Bretagne!

Shakshuka brioche tart 🌶🍳

Soft, buttery brioche filled with a smoky tomato and red pepper sauce, paired with baked eggs and finished with feta, toasted pine nuts, and fresh red peppers and parsley.

Using sweet red peppers from my dad's greenhouse and parsley from my window sill.

I'm particular happy with how the eggs turned out (soft yolks are non-negotiable).

Combining two brunch classics for this week's @sundayafternoonbakingclub theme BREAD.

Hot cross semla 🌷

Marrying British and Swedish lenten traditions in these hot cross semlor.

Semlor are cardamom-scented buns, filled with mandelmassa (almond paste) and topped with crunchy salted almonds and a cloud of whipped cream.

This version also features lemon and orange zest as well as raisins steeped in spiced tea to create little pockets of classic hot cross bun flavours.

A perfect treat for Easter Sunday 🐣 by @bex_sucree

Eggs florentine vol-au-vent 🍳🌿

A vol-au-vent made from hand laminated inverse puff pastry, filled with sautéed spinach and a baked egg, and served with hollandaise sauce, finely chopped chives and black pepper.

If choux is the ultimate vehicle for sweet creams, curds and custards, then the vol-au-vent must be its perfect counterpart for savoury flavours.

I've loved them since I was small, when they were known to me as ham dippy things because of my fondness for dunking their little puff hats into their molten centres.

Getting an even rise was more challenging than I thought (swipe to the end to see a particularly adventurous guy) but was resolved by placing upside down ramekins in the corners of the baking tray and setting an oven rack over them.

Baked for this month's @bucketlistbakeclub prompt, savoury puff pastry.

The honour of first bake of 2026 goes to this quince tart, made with pate brisée, honey custard (recipe: @tarts_anon), quince jelly and poached quince.

I had to search high and low for quince but luckily finally managed to secure the goods! They were squirrelled away at the back of a cupboard until I felt ready to turn on the oven again after Christmas, then poached low and slow with honey, vanilla and lemon until they reached a deep ruby red.
