Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 7 oz puff pastry (200g (1 sheet, depending on size of packet))
  • 2 tbsp fig preserves (fig jam)
  • 3/4 cup grated cheddar (78g, or gruyere also works well)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 400F/200C and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment.
  • Flatten out the sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface.
  • Spread a thin layer of fig preserves over the top of the pastry, leaving just a small edge without any on.
  • Sprinkle over a layer of grated cheese, covering evenly.
  • Roll two opposite edges into the middle - don't roll too tightly, just as it naturally rolls. Use a little water to gently help the two 'rolls' stick by brushing along the join. You might want to chill the roll before slicing to make it easier.
  • Using a serrated or large, sharp knife, cut the rolled up pastry into slices then carefully transfer to the lined baking sheet.
  • Bake until the pastry is crisp and golden, about 15 minutes. Nudge in any coils that have opened up too much. Leave to cool a few minutes so that the cheese can firm up before transferring to a cooling rack.
