Camembert Pastry Parcels
- camembert cheese, chilled and cut into 1 inch cubes
- 1 cheese pastry
- 2 -3 tablespoons good quality gooseberry preserves
- 1 egg, beaten
- 100 g plain flour
- 50 g butter
- 15 g parmesan cheese or 15 g romano cheese, grated
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 1 pinch dry mustard
- 1 egg, beaten
- cold water
- Rub the butter into the flour.
- Add the grated cheese, Cayenne pepper, and mustard.
- Bind to a firm dough with some of the beaten egg and a little cold water.
- Knead gently.
- TIP: This pastry can be made the day before.
- It can also be frozen.
- Roll the pastry out thinly- But not TOOOOOO thin!
- Cut the pastry into 3" squares.
- Put a little Gooseberry Reserve in the centre of each square and top with a 1" cube of Camembert.
- Brush the edges of the pastry with beaten egg.
- Bring the edges of the pastry together on top to form a parcel (rather like a sack!
- ), pinching the'neck' together, form a seal and snip off any excess pastry with scissors.
- Brush each Camembert Parcel with beaten egg and place on lightly greased baking tray.
- Bake at 200'C (400'F, Gas Mark 6) for 10-15 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and serve straight away!
- NOTE: It is very important to ensure the parcels are SEALED to avoid any Camembert Cheese leaking out!
- ENJOY!
