Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
- If using frozen puff pastry, allow it to thaw according to the package instructions. Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to smooth out any folds. Aim for a rectangle, roughly about 10x12 inches (25x30 cm).
- In a small bowl, beat the egg until the yolk and white are thoroughly combined. Set aside.
- Evenly sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over the entire surface of the puff pastry.
- Roll up the puff pastry sheet tightly from one long side to the other to form a log. Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 1/2-inch (1.25 cm) thick slices. You should get around 20-24 slices.
- Place the pastry slices flat on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small space between each slice to allow them to puff up during baking.
- Brush the tops of each pastry bite with the beaten egg. This will give them a beautiful golden color as they bake.
- Sprinkle a pinch of sesame seeds over each pastry bite for added texture and flavor.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the pastry bites are puffed up and golden brown.
- Remove the pastry bites from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Make sure the puff pastry is thoroughly thawed before using to ensure it rolls out easily and cooks evenly.
- For a richer flavor, you can mix different types of cheese with the cheddar, such as mozzarella or Gruyère.
- Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg to ensure it achieves a beautiful golden color when baking.
- If you prefer a crunchier topping, lightly toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan before sprinkling them on the pastry.
- To prevent the pastry from sticking to the baking sheet, use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Once baked, these pastry bites with cheese and sesame become irresistible morsels of flavor. Serve them warm, straight from the oven, as an appetizer or a tasty snack. With minimal ingredients and simple steps, you'll have a batch of savory pastry bites ready to enjoy in no time.
