Takes 50 minutes to make
Ingredients
- 50g butter
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 1 leek, sliced and washed
- 225g soft goat’s cheese
- 2 slices smoked ham or Parma ham, diced
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves picked
- 375g pack ready-rolled puff pastry
- 1 egg, beaten, to glaze
Method
- Melt the butter in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and leek, cover, and sweat for 5 minutes, until soft but not coloured. Set aside to cool.
- Put the cheese in a large bowl and beat until creamy. Add the ham, thyme leaves and cooled onion and leek. Mix and season to taste.
- Unroll the pastry and roll out until slightly thinner. Using a saucer, cut out 4 x 16cm circles. Divide the mixture between the centres of each pastry round. Brush the edge of pastry with some of the egg and fold the pastry over to make a semicircle. Press with a fork to seal the edges and chill for 5-10 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 200C/fan180C/gas6. Put the puffs onto a non-stick baking tray and brush with remaining egg. Bake for 20 minutes, until golden. Serve hot or cold.
