Ingredients

ready-rolled puff pastry
320 g
mature cheddar, grated
150 g
kimchi, roughly chopped
70 g
spring onions, thinly sliced
2 pcs
egg, lightly beaten
1 pcs
togarashi
1 pinch

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan/gas mark 6). Line two large baking sheets with baking parchment. In a small bowl, mix together the grated cheddar, sliced spring onions, and chopped kimchi until well combined.

Unroll the ready-rolled puff pastry sheet. Evenly spread the cheese and kimchi mixture over the surface, leaving a small border at the edges. Starting from one of the long sides, roll the pastry up into a tight log. Slice the log into 14 even pieces using a sharp knife.

Place the pastry pinwheels spiral-side up on the prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space between them for the pastry to puff up. Brush the tops with the beaten egg and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crisp. Sprinkle with togarashi if desired and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Chef's Tips

To get cleaner slices, chill the rolled pastry log in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before cutting. Ensure the kimchi is well-drained before chopping to prevent the pastry from becoming soggy. You can substitute cheddar with Gruyère or Monterey Jack for a different flavor profile.
