Christmas Halloumi Puffs with Sour Cherry Jam
Buttery, flaky pastry meets warm halloumi and a bright spoonful of sour cherry jam. They hit that perfect mix of salty and sweet and make an easy festive nibble to bring to the table.
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C fan. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Place the two pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Brush one with a little egg wash and place the other on top, pressing gently so they stick together.
- Cut the layered pastry into 4 cm squares. Brush the tops with egg wash and sprinkle generously with both sesame seeds.
- Transfer the squares to the lined tray and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until puffed and lightly golden.
- Top each square with a small cube of halloumi and return to the oven for another 10 to 12 minutes until the pastry and cheese are golden.
- Finish with a small spoon of sour cherry jam and a sprig of fresh thyme. Serve straight away while everything is warm and crisp.
