2.
Place half the herbs in a food processor with the butter and cheese and work into a paste.

Place the pastry circles in the tins, create an edge, stab with a fork a few times and top with baking paper. Weigh the paper down with legumes and bake for around 15 minutes until golden. Remove the paper and the legumes.
