Ingredients
- 4 lices chorizo
- 3 oz gruyere cheese 85g
- 8.5 oz puff pastry (1 sheet, 240g)
- 1 egg yolk
- ¼ teaspoon paprika approx
- 1 pinch black pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F/200C. Line a large baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment.
- Cut the chorizo slices into small pieces and grate the cheese medium-fine (the smaller size on a box grater).
- Lightly flour a surface and flatten out the sheet of puff pastry. If you like, you can leave it as one piece, but you may find it easier as two strips (in the photos, I use a half sheet).
- Lightly brush the top of the pastry with egg yolk and sprinkle over half the cheese on one half of the pastry. Top with the chopped chorizo.
- Fold the side of pastry that doesn't have cheese on it on top of the other half and gently press down.
- Brush the top of the folded pastry with more egg yolk and top with the remaining cheese. Sprinkle on the paprika and a little pepper, if using, then press the cheese into the pastry - you can either roll it lightly with a rolling pin or press in with you hand. Don't roll/press so hard it spreads more than very slightly or you get holes, just enough to get the cheese to hold fairly firm.
- Cut the pastry in to strips around ⅔in/2cm wide - I prefer to do across the shorter length rather than a few long strips which you could do if you leave as one sheet.
- Carefully lift the strips one at a time from the work surface then twist the top and bottom away from each other to form a twist. Press gently on to the prepared baking sheet to get it to hold it's shape then repeat with the rest.
- Bake for approximately 15 minutes until they are golden on top.
Notes
- See notes above about ways to change up the fillings.
