Method
step 1
Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Unroll the puff pastry onto a lined baking tray. Score a 2cm border around the edge of the pastry using a sharp knife, then brush the border with the egg.
step 2
Bake for 15-20 mins, or until golden and crisp. Gently push down the middle with the back of a spoon, then leave to cool completely.
step 3
Whisk the mascarpone with the double cream and 3 tbsp lemon curd until soft and spoonable. Fold in another 3 tbsp lemon curd and the seeds of 1 passion fruit.
step 4
Spoon the cream mixture in the centre of the pastry and scatter over the seeds of 2 passion fruit and the chopped pistachios.
