This vegetarian baked bean pasty is the perfect blend of cheese and flavour.

Quick and easy to make these cheese and onion baked bean pasty puffs make a quick snack suitable for all the family.

Baked Bean Pasty

Baked beans are a very useful store cupboard staple.  They are delicious heated, straight from the tin, on buttered toast, and topped with egg and/or bacon, as well as being a staple baked potato filler.  I also like to use them as a store cupboard ingredient, and jazz them up into a more exciting dish.  Packed with protein containing pulses, a portion of baked beans also counts towards your five-a-day and is Vegetarian!

Branston Baked Beans have recently been named by the respected Good Housekeeping Institute as the best bean, a fitting tribute just in time for their 10th birthday.  Consumers agree with the GHI with 4 out of 5 of us preferring the taste of the Branston beans so they work perfectly in this baked bean pasty.

I’ve paired a tin of Branston beans with one of my other staple ingredients, a sheet of ready made, ready rolled, puff pastry to make cheese & onion baked bean pasty puffs; ideal for snacks and for elevenses.  Ready made and rolled puff pastry will keep for a couple of weeks in the fridge, and is ideal for all manner of pasties or open tarts and pastries either sweet or savoury.

If you are usually very pushed for time then make a double batch of the filling, freeze in silicone muffin tins and defrost in the microwave before making these pasty puffs.

Older children can help spoon the beans onto the pastry and to seal the pasties.  Do allow these to cool for a good few minutes before serving as when they are fresh from the oven the beans and the cheese inside are scaldingly hot.

Mix up the fillings too, we like a simple mix of onion, beans, cheddar cheese for flavour and mozzarella for  maximum gooey stretchy cheesiness, but I think ham, bacon and/or corn as well as some spices would all work well.

Everyone will love this baked bean pasty.

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp cooking oil
  • 1 small onion - peeled and finely chopped
  • 1/2 tin baked beans (Branston)
  • 30 g Cheddar cheese - finely grated
  • 30 g mozzarella - shredded
  • 1 sheet ready rolled puff pastry - cut into 4 squares
  • 1 egg - beaten (optional)

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 200C / 180 fan / GM6.
  • Pour the oil into a frying pan and fry the onions until they are golden and translucent.
  • Remove the pan from the heat, add the beans, and the cheeses and mix well.
  • Place a spoon of the baked bean mixture in the middle of each square of pastry, brush the edges with water then fold diagonally to make a triangular parcel. Use a fork to press the layers of pastry together to seal.
  • Transfer the pasties to a baking tray covered with a sheet of baking paper, poke a couple of holes in each one with a sharp knife to let the steam out.
  • Brush with the beaten egg if desired, then bake for 20 - 25 minutes until puffed and golden.
  • Allow to cool slightly before serving - the filling will be very hot.

Notes

  • Either wrap and freeze leftover puff pastry or cut into strips, sprinkle with grated cheese to make cheese straws.
  • To save time make a double batch of the filling and freeze. Defrost before use.

    Such a great quick meal idea. Mixing and matching ingredients is a fab way of keeping the kids interested too – they get bored of things so quickly, don’t they! ;) Tx

      I think there is so much scope for variation on this one, keeps it fresh every time, or everyone in the family can personalise their pasty.

    Oh my goodness, this just gave me a total flashback to my childhood :) I used to love cold an rainy days when my mum would make us baked beans on toast with cheese on top – I love the sound of this fancier version!

      You can very rarely beat baked beans on toast with cheese on top. Perhaps if you top with a poached egg?

    Love it! I want this for lunch! They’re my favourite beans too. You can’t beat them. Mind you I wish they’d add ring pulls, it drives me bonkers. I’d happily pay more for that too. Nice recipe Helen, perfect comfort food.

    I’m usually very uncreative with baked beans and just plonk them on the plate, but they do make a fantastic ingredient in other things too – I love them in stews. Will definitely try these, they look amazing!

      I think that baked beans are lovely on white bread, lightly toasted with lots of butter! But these are so simply to make.

    Using homemade baked beans don’t make any change in the flavor and texture of the dish, do it?

      It shouldn’t, but depending how well you have cooked them might effect the texture.
