Simple Plum Tart with Eggless Option

If you have an abundance of plums this season and are looking for different ways to use them try making this yummy plum tart. It’s a very easy dish to create and the result is a little like a cake, a little like a tart… you decide which. The recipe uses two eggs but you can swap them out for an egg substitute, which is extra handy with the current egg shortage here in NZ.

It’s delicious served warm straight out of the oven with a dollop of coconut yoghurt.
