1 clove garlic, crushed

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

METHOD

 

 

1. Process eggs, nuts, sauce, cheese, salt and pepper until smooth.

Transfer mixture to a large bowl; stir in onion, garlic, herbs, oats

and breadcrumbs.

 

2. Cut each pastry sheet into quarters. Cut each quarter in half.

Place one tablespoon of mixture over one half of each rectangle;

fold pastry over to enclose filling, pressing edges together with a

fork to seal. Place pastries onto greased oven trays; prick tops

with a fork, brush with extra egg.

 

3. Cook in a hot oven, 200C, for about 20 minutes or until lightly

browned.

 

4. Serve puffs with tomato sauce and garnished with fresh herbs.
