Vol-au-vents


1. Preheat oven to 200°C / 400°F / gas 6

2. Roll out a block of puff pastry to about 1cm thick (or use ready rolled pastry)

3. Cut out circles (about 6 cm diameter), then make a smaller circle inside (but dont cut all the way through) and prick holes in the middle circle with a fork

4. Place on a greased baking tray and brush with beaten egg or milk

5. Bake for about 10-15 minutes until the pastry has risen

6. Leave to cool then push the middles down to make a hole. Fill the holes with soft cheese
