Goat's Cheese Plait

Serves 4. Preparation 15-20mins

Ingredients

1 x 376g pack of puff pastry
4 tbsp Sacla' Char-Grilled Aubergine Pesto
100g Sacla' Char-Grilled Peppers Antipasti, drained
100g goat's cheese, crumbled
1 egg, beaten
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

First preheat the oven to 220°C, Gas Mark 7.
Next on a lightly floured surface, unroll the pastry and cut into four. Cut along the longer edges at 1.5cm intervals, 6cm deep to make a fringe.
Spread the middle of the pastry with a generous layer of Sacla' Char-Grilled Aubergine Pesto, top with the peppers and goat's cheese and season.
Now starting at the top, alternately fold the strips inwards at a 45 degree angle over the filling to form a plait.
Finally carefully transfer the plait onto a baking sheet and brush it with egg. Bake it in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until it's golden brown. Serve it sliced, hot or cold.
