Chard and Cheese Slice

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Cooking time: 20 minutes


Ingredients

500g chard, sliced

2 large sheets of ready rolled puff pastry

1 medium onion, sliced

200g cheddar cheese, grated

50g butter

1 egg, beaten (for glazing and sealing)

Salt and pepper

 

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200⁰C.
  2. Heat a pan over a medium heat and melt the butter, gently sweat the onion to soften and then add the sliced chard. Season well and cook until the chard has wilted. Remove from the pan and allow to cool.
  3. Lay the two sheets of puff pastry on a flat surface and cut each one in half, so you have four rectangles.
  4. Sprinkle the cheese over one half of each of the pastry sheets and top with the chard mixture.
  5. Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg and fold the pastry over the mix to make a pastry slice, crimping the edges to seal in the chard and cheese. Place on a non-stick baking sheet and brush the slices with the remaining egg.
  6. Place in your pre-heated and cook for 20 minutes until golden brown. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the pastries to rest for 5 minutes. Remove from the sheet and serve.
