Ingredients
  • 1/2 pounds pre-rolled puff pastry
  • 1/2 Cups shredded old cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 Cups toasted california walnuts, finely chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoons cayenne pepper
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
    • Directions
  • 1.

    Toasting walnuts

  • 2.

    In large, dry skillet over medium-high heat, cook walnuts until lightly toasted, about 1 to 2 minutes.

  • 3.

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

  • 4.

    Unroll pastry. It should measure a 10-inch square. If not using pre-rolled pastry, roll out to this size.

  • 5.

    Sprinkle pastry with Cheddar cheese, walnuts and cayenne pepper, leaving a 1/2-inch border along the top edge. Starting at one edge, roll up tightly, jellyroll style. Place on baking sheet and freeze for 15 minutes, or until firm.

  • 6.

    Using a serrated knife, slice pastry crosswise into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange flat on prepared baking sheet, spacing 1 inch apart. Brush with egg. Bake in the centre of the oven until golden and puffed, about 15 minutes.
