Ingredients

5 total
  • 400 g of tinned tomatoes
  • 1 tsp of caster sugar
  • 320 g of frozen puff pastry sheet
  • 75 g of grated mozzarella
  • 1 egg, beaten

Method

6 steps
  1. Step 1

    Remove the puff pastry sheet from the freezer and allow to come to room temperature. Tip the tinned tomatoes into a saucepan and leave to simmer away over a medium heat for approx. 20 mins, or until reduced by at least half and there’s no liquid left. Stir frequently to ensure the tomatoes don’t burn.

  2. Step 2

    Season with salt and pepper, add the sugar then set aside and allow to cool to room temperature.

  3. Step 3

    Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C/gas 6. Roll out the defrosted pastry and cut into 6 equal sized squares.

  4. Step 4

    Place 1 tbsp of the cooled tomato in the centre of each pastry rectangle then top each with the grated cheese. Use a pastry brush to brush the beaten egg around all the edges, then fold one corner over to enclose the tomato and cheese filling and create a triangle-shaped parcel. Use a fork to seal all the edges then brush each top with more beaten egg.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer to a lined baking tray, leaving a bit of space between each parcel. Bake for 20 mins or until golden and cooked through.

  6. Step 6

    Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a couple of mins before tucking in – be careful as the filling will be very hot!
