Servings Nibbles

Ingredients

1 sheet puff pastry about 320g
1 large egg free range beaten
50 g Parmesan cheese finely grated
freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan) / 400°F / Gas Mark 6. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
Unroll the puff pastry and place it flat on a lightly floured surface or straight onto the lined baking tray.
1 sheet puff pastry
Brush the pastry all over with the beaten egg.
1 large egg
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan evenly across the surface. Add a light grinding of black pepper if you like.
50 g Parmesan cheese, freshly ground black pepper
Cut the pastry into small squares, rectangles, or strips – about 3–4cm wide is ideal for bite-sized nibbles.
Bake in the oven for 12–15 minutes, or until puffed up and beautifully golden.
Cool slightly on the tray, then move to a wire rack to cool completely (if you can resist eating them straight away!).

Notes

Tips:

Other cheeses: Try using finely grated Gruyère, mature Cheddar, or a sprinkle of crumbled blue cheese for a different flavour.

Serving suggestions: Serve warm with a glass of sparkling wine, or alongside olives, cured meats, and a little bowl of chutney for an easy sharing platter.
