Caerphilly cheese and thyme pastries

Cooking : time 10 to 30 mins






Ingredients

1 x 500g/1lb 1%26frac12;oz packet ready-made puff pastry
200g/7%26frac14;oz Caerphilly cheese, grated
1 bunch thyme, leaves only





Method

1. Roll out the puff pastry onto a clean, floured surface into a 30 x 20cm (7.9 x 11.8in) rectangle, about 3mm thick.
2. Sprinkle the surface of the pastry with the Caerphilly cheese and thyme leaves.
3. Fold the two sides of the pastry into the middle and lightly press, before folding lengthways in half again. Place in the freezer for 30 minutes to rest (and for ease of cutting).
4. Preheat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5. When the pastry has rested, cut it into 5mm-thick square slices and place on a baking tray 3cm (1.2in) apart.
5. Cook in the oven for five minutes, before turning over and cooking for a further five minutes - the squares should be crisp and golden. Leave to cool before serving.
