Steps

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C for fan-assisted ovens). Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Unroll the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface.

Fill and Shape

Cut the pastry into equilateral triangles (approx. 8-12 pieces, depending on size). Sprinkle the wider end of each triangle with grated cheese, season with salt and pepper to taste. Roll up the triangles from the wider end towards the tip to form mini croissant shapes.

Baking

Place the rolled croissant bites on the prepared baking tray. Brush them with the beaten egg, then sprinkle with sesame seeds if using. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Serving

Remove from the oven, let them cool slightly, then serve warm. Excellent for breakfast, a snack, or as an appetizer for guests.

Extra Tips

► Experiment with different types of cheese, such as smoked cheese or cheddar, for an even more exciting flavor.

► If you want a sweet version, fill them with Nutella or jam and sprinkle with powdered sugar after baking.

► The bites are best enjoyed fresh, but they are also excellent cold for picnics or snacks.
