Only four ingredients are needed for this recipe – just four! And if you must, you can manage without the olive oil, too. These savoury little bites are ideal for packing into a picnic basket or serving up as nibbles at a party. The pesto we've used is vegetarian, making them a real crowd-pleaser. Time and servings

Ingredients
- 1 tbsp of olive oil
- 5 tbsp of pesto (we used sacla fresh coriander pesto)
- 320 g of ready-rolled puff pastry
- 100 g of grated mature cheddar
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Unroll the pastry, keeping it on the piece of paper it comes wrapped in. Spoon over the pesto and spread it out evenly all over the pastry, then scatter the grated cheese over the top.Step 2
Take one of the short ends and tightly roll the pastry up, then pop in the fridge for 10 mins to firm up.Step 3
With a sharp knife, slice the roll into 12 swirls, then lie them flat on 2 non-stick baking trays leaving a little space around them to puff up. Lightly brush each pinwheel with olive oil and bake for 12 mins, or until puffed and golden. Leave to cool for a few mins before carefully removing from the tray using a spatula. Serve straight away or store in foil or tupperware.
