Ingredients:

  • 150g soft cheese
  • 3 cheese slices, cut into small chunks
  • 125g red leicester cheese, coarsely grated
  • 50g pickled jalapeños, roughly chopped
  • few shakes of hot sauce, (optional)
  • 320g ready-rolled puff pastry sheet
  • 1 egg, beaten

 


Method:

1. Create the filling

  • Combine the soft cheese, cheese pieces, red leicester, jalapeños and hot sauce, if using, in a medium bowl. Season well with salt and pepper and set aside.

2. Combine the filling with the pastry

  • Unravel the pastry and evenly spread over the cheese mixture, right to the edges. Roll up into a tight spiral from a longer side, then slice into 12 pinwheels. Put on a baking tray lined with baking parchment, spaced well apart, then chill for 20 mins.

3.  Cook and serve

  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bake the pinwheels for 20-25 mins until golden, puffed up and risen. Cool on the tray for 5 mins, then serve warm.
