Ingredients

Zucchini filling

  • 3 zucchini
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Assembling

  • 4 puff pastry sheets thawed
  • 120 gms – 4.25 oz. blue cheese crumbled
  • Milk to brush

Instructions

  1. Cut the zucchini into very thin strips (I used a potato peeler to slice mine).
  2. Sauté the garlic clove with the extra virgin olive oil in a frying pan for 1 or 2 minutes. Add the sliced zucchini and cook on a high flame until soft. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the garlic clove and let the zucchini cool down.
  3. Spread the zucchini mixture onto 2 of the puff pastry sheets. Add the crumbled blue cheese.
  4. Top with the remaining puff pastry sheets and press them close with your fingers.
  5. Using a pizza cutter, cut the 2 sets of filled pastry into 2.5 cm – 1 inch squares. Do not detach the squares at this point or the filling will come out while baking!
  6. Brush them with milk and bake them in a pre-heated oven at 200°C - 390°F for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
  7. When ready, let them cool down for 5 minutes, then detach them with your hands or using the pizza cutter. Let them come back to room temperature before serving.

Recipe Notes

These pastries taste better when just made. I do not advise making them the day before you want to serve them.
