Ingredients

  • 2 sheets frozen shortcrust pastry sheets
  • 150-200g young manchego cheese* (aged 3 months)
  • 100g quince paste
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup slivered almonds

Method

Thaw pastry in fridge for 15 minutes before use. Cut each sheet of pastry into 8 rectangles. Cut cheese into 16 log-shaped pieces. For each bon bon, brush a pastry rectangle with egg, and spread 1/2 teaspoon quince paste in the centre. Top with a piece of cheese and roll into a bon bon shape, enclosing the filling, sealing well and twisting the ends. Place onto a baking paper lined oven tray. Brush with egg and sprinkle with almonds. Bake in the upper half of the oven at 200°C for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Serve hot.

Tips

* Substitute fontina, gruyere or cheddar if young manchego is unavailable.
