Crisp
and flaky puff pastry filled with a tomato sauce and plenty of
bubbling, melted cheese – these are the perfect little snack to
munch on. And since they resemble (and are therefore called!)
Catherine Wheels, it makes them the perfect Bonfire Night treat.
Delicious served warm out of the oven, these treats won't last long
and will be loved by everyone.
Cheese
& Tomato
1
sheet of ready rolled puff pastry
75ml
(5 tbsp) basic tomato sauce or pizza sauce
115g/
4oz Cheddar cheese, grated
Freshly
ground black pepper
Preheat
the oven to 220C/ 425F/ GM 7 and line a baking tray with parchment
paper.
Spread
the puff pastry evenly with the tomato sauce, getting right to the
edges then sprinkle over the grated cheese. Grind over a little black
pepper then roll the puff pastry up as tightly as you can. Trim off
the ends then slice the roll into roughly ½ inch thick pieces.
Arrange
the slices on the tray. Bake in the oven for 14-15
minutes, until the puff pastry is golden and the cheese
bubbling. Leave to cool for a minute or 2 then remove and place on a
wire rack to cool slightly.
And
why not try some Mozzarella & Pesto Catherine Wheels which are
equally delicious.

So easy and they look fantastic! Love the idea of the mozzarella & pesto as well.
