English Pastry Pinwheels With Cheese And Onion Recipes

Steps:

• Fry the onions until soft and cooked.
• Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C or 350 degrees F.
• Lay out the puff pastry sheet.
• Spread the mashed potato over the pastry, leaving a half inch gap at one end (if you have a rectangular sheet of pastry, leave the gap along one of the longer sides). This will allow the pastry to seal once rolled and stop the filling overflowing.
• Spread the onions and cheese over the mashed potato, again leaving a gap.
• Roll the pastry tightly towards the end with a gap in the filling.
• Dampen with water the pastry where you have left a gap and use this part to seal the end to the roll.
• Cut into 3/4 inch pinwheels and bake on a tray in the oven for 12-13 minutes, or until the pastry is cooked and the cheese golden.
• Allow to cool slightly before removing from the tray.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add onions, brown sugar, and vinegar; cook, stirring frequently, until onions are golden brown and caramelized, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl with a slotted spoon and cool to room temperature.
• Roll puff pastry out into a 11x18-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Spread Brie cheese over pastry. Layer with caramelized onions and sprinkle with caraway seeds. Roll up one long edge towards the center. Roll up from the other side so the 2 rolls meet in the center. Cut into 1/2-inch slices using a serrated knife.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange slices on top; flatten to 1/4-inch thickness. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Mix egg and water together in a small bowl to make egg wash. Brush egg wash over slices.
• Bake pinwheels in the preheated oven until puffed up and golden brown, about 12 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix the cheeses together. Mix through the pickle and English mustard powder. Unravel the pastry on a lightly floured surface, spread the cheese mixture over and tightly roll into a sausage shape from the longest side. Trim off the ends. Cut into 10 rounds and put on a lined baking sheet (swirl-side up), brush with the egg and bake for 15-20 mins or until golden brown. Leave to cool a little before eating.
