Our Mia has turned 9. Where did that time go?
So Mia's other Grandma had Family dinner to celebrate this occasion.
Karen made Fab little cup cakes. Chocolate Mint...Yum
I wanted to make something different.
Did a little bit of research, One of my favourite TV programmes is the Canadian "Cook Like a Chef".
This programme takes real Chefs who demonstrate different techniques and supply some good recipes.
I really fancied these little Pinwheels supplied by Michael Bonacini
I mean when you are having a couple... there is nothing like little savouries.
The aroma drags you in... I defy you to turn these down
I have adjusted the recipe, to use ingredients I could get at the supermarket.
And it was very good
So actually I now "Own this recipe" to quote Simon Cowell
1 packet puff pastry
200 gms soft goat cheese
2 tablespoons thyme leaves
Freshly ground black pepper
Dijon mustard
100 gms thinly sliced ham
Or 100 gms smoked salmon
1 egg beaten with a little water
Mix soft cheese with thyme leaves and season with pepper
Roll out pastry into 2 rectangles
Spread mustard over one of the rectangles leaving a 1 inch border
Cover that with the cheese mix
Brush the border with egg wash
Layer ham over the top
I used smoked salmon for the second one
Roll it up to the egg wash border keep it tight.
Wrap in Gladwrap, tightly and into the fridge for at least 1 hour
Or you can do this in advance up to 24 hours.
Just before you want to eat them
Pre Heat Oven to 200C
Remove from fridge
Unwrap and brush with egg wash to glaze
Slice into little pinwheels
Brush again with the egg wash
Into oven for about 15 minutes
Till golden brown
They only lasted for about 10 minutes.
