Cheese and Olive Empanadillas

Serves 26

Ingredients

  • 85g cheese - cheddar, gruyere, gouda, mozzarella
  • 85g stoned green olibes
  • 55g sun-dried tomatoes
  • 50g canned anchony fillets
  • 55g sun-dried tomato paste
  • flour, for dusting
  • 500g puff pastry
  • beaten egg, to glaze

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
  2. Put all the ingredients, apart from the pastry and egg, into a food processor and roughly chop.
  3. Roll out the pastry and cut into 8cm rounds. Pile the trimmings together, roll out again and repeat.
  4. Put 1 tsp of the olive filling in the middle of each pastry round. Dampen the edges with a little water and pinch the edges to seal - like little Cornish pasties.
  5. Glaze with the eggs and bake for 10-15 mins until golden brown. Serve hot or cold.
