Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Open out the pastry on a lightly floured surface and roll it out into a slightly larger rectangle. Put on a baking sheet, prick all over with a fork, then brush with the beaten egg. Bake for 10-12 minutes until crisp, risen and golden brown.
- Remove the pastry from the oven and put a second baking sheet on top of it, pressing down firmly to flatten the pastry. Leave to cool.
- Put the red peppers and celery in a bowl, stir in the lime juice and zest, a pinch of sugar and some seasoning. Drizzle over the oil and set aside for 10 minutes for the flavours to mingle.
- Cut the pastry into 4cm squares and put on a serving platter. Toss the red pepper salsa with the parsley and feta, then use to top the croûtes. Serve immediately with the cocktail.
