Super Easy Meat Puffs

Ok. By now you'll know that I'm into simple. Simple but yummy. And oh - must must do justice in the eye candy department ;) Here's what I whipped up in under 15mins prep time for a tea party this morning. Of course the filling was already made the night before.

Step 1 - Grease your muffin tin with some oil and line it with pre-made frozen pastry squares. I used the Kawan brand puff pastry squares. (See picture here)

Step 2 - Fill with meat (or whatever filling you fancy - tuna/curry/peaches/apples) Here I topped my meat filling with some grated cheddar

Step 3 - Brush some beaten egg on the exposed pastry corners and bake for 20mins at 190C. The result!
