That looks great! I was thinking of using anchovy too! So the pastry worked? It looks as if it did.

I brightened up your photo to see the topping more clearly (yummy!) - I can change it over in the top post if you want...

Ah! Sorry. We love anchovies. I was planning to add black olives to make a tarte tatin version of Pissaladière, but didn't have black olive

The pastry worked out well, but it just needed to be flattened it into a round on foil and flipped over on top of the pan. Good texture (a little scone-like) and tasted nice. A bit pale but gf baking usually is. I'll be practising a Wellington over the weekend so i'll see if the pastry can be handled or not. Cooling it in the fridge I am sure helped.
