Ingredients

Method

• 2 x 250 g sheets Woolworths frozen puff pastry, thawed
• 250 g smooth cream cheese
• 100 g Woolworths sliced biltong, chopped
• 1 free-range egg, beaten
• sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• fresh thyme, to garnish

Method

Ingredients

1 Preheat the oven to 180°C. Roll out the pastry slightly thinner with a dusting of flour.

2 Heat the cream cheese in the microwave to make it easy to spread. Spread a thin layer all over each sheet of pastry.

3 Cut the pastry into even-sized strips, sprinkle over the chopped biltong and gently pat into pastry.

4 Twist the strips and chill for 15 minutes to cool completely. Brush with egg and season, then bake for 15–20 minutes, until puffed and golden.
