- 1 medium egg, beaten
- 150g cream cheese

Step by step
Get ahead
Prepare all the elements up to 4 hours ahead. Assemble up to 1 hour before serving.
- Preheat the oven to 220°C, fan 200°C, gas 7. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Unroll the sheet of puff pastry and cut into 16 mini rectangles. Score a border around the edges of each pastry rectangle, then brush the borders with beaten egg. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden and puffed up. When they come out of the oven, press down the centres to create a tart case. Leave to cool. See ‘Get ahead’ tip, above).
- In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, chopped celery and plenty of seasoning. In another bowl, combine the tomatoes, prawns, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco to taste.
- Put the cream cheese mixture in a piping bag fitted with a 1cm wide plain nozzle (or cut a 1cm opening on a disposable piping bag). Pipe into the tart cases to fill the base and then top with some of the tomato and prawn mixture and the celery matchsticks.
