Cheesy Baked Bean Pasty Puffs
Quick and easy to make these cheese and onion baked bean pasty puffs make a quick snack suitable for all the family. This vegetarian treat is also the perfect compliment to any meal.
Servings: 4
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.
