Vegetable Cheese Melts

One of my favourite combinations has got to be Chilli + Cheese melted together creating the perfect unison’s of ooey gooey palatable delights decked on puff pastry …oh yes, now this is a perfect cheat treat…rite 🙂  ))  This is so quick and easy to make.  You can use whatever vegetable you have lying around, how easy peasy is this 🙂

Fluffy pastry +Veggies and Cheese….yummy!!!

Preparation:  10 minutes

Baking:            20 minutes

Serves                4

400g Puff Pastry (1 packet)

1 ½ cups grated cheddar or Gouda cheese (suitable for vegetarians)

1 cup (250ml) broccoli florets (washed & trimmed)

10 cocktail plum tomatoes halved

1 disk feta cheese – crumble into chunks

2-3 green chillies finely sliced

Milk for brushing

Few grinds black pepper

Let’s bake 🙂

• Thaw pastry
• Preheat oven at 200oC
• Use non stick baking tray – spray with spray and cook.
• Place pastry on baking tray. Use the blunt end of a butter knife and slightly cut into the pastry 1.5 cm from the edges creating a triangle.  Do not cut all the way through.
• Sprinkle cheese, spread out broccoli, cocktail tomatoes, feta cheese, and chillies.
• Brush milk across pastry edges
• Bake for 20 minutes or until cooked. Oven temperatures differ so adjust baking time accordingly
• Once done add black pepper and serve

#WinkWink;-) you can add any vegetable of your choice.  Some may need steaming before baking.                                                               The puff pastry can be substituted for rye bread.  layer veg and cheese and oven grill for a few minutes.
