Info

Serves: Makes 18

Prep time: Less then 30 minutes

Cooking time: 10 to 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 375g / 13oz ready-rolled puff pastry
  • 3 slices Parma ham, cut into strips
  • 100g / 3.5oz gorgonzola, crumbled
  • 1 tbsp celery seeds
  • 1 free-range egg, beaten

Cooking Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
  2. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the puff pastry to a thin sheet.
  3. Lay the strips of Parma ham onto one half of the pastry, then sprinkle over the gorgonzola.
  4. Fold the pastry over the ham and gorgonzola, then roll out again to a thin sheet.
  5. Trim the edges of the filled pastry, brush all over with the beaten egg and sprinkle over the celery seeds.
  6. Cut the filled pastry into 1cm/?in strips.
  7. Twist the strips and transfer each to a baking tray. Press the ends of the pastry twists down to secure them to the tray and prevent them from unravelling.
  8. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden-brown. Set aside to cool slightly, then serve.

  • These are really yummy, have made them loads of times and they disappear too quickly. My husband was a bit worried about the gorgonzola as he hates blue cheese, but when he tasted the finished result he was very impressed and said he liked them - praise indeed!!!

  • Make them with mature chedder or brie yum :)

  • As usual the recipe is super - all the recipes I have tried have been wonderful. Bravo boys.

  • I made this with mature cheddar and just normal packet ham so wasn't expecting much but they are gorgeous!

  • My 11 year old son has made these a number of times now. They're always delicious but disappear far too quickly!!
