Savory Mince Rolls

Ingredients (serves 4)

• 2 sheets frozen ready-rolled puff pastry, partially thawed
• 1/2 quantity (3 cups) Savoury mince (see related recipe)
• 1 egg, beaten
• mixed salad leaves, to serve

Method

1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Cut each pastry sheet in half. Spoon one-quarter of the mince mixture along the centre of each piece of pastry, leaving a 2cm border along both short ends. Roll up from long end to enclose filling. Place rolls on prepared tray.
2. Brush roll tops with egg. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until pastry is golden and puffed. Cut rolls into thirds. Serve with salad leaves.

Notes

• 
  Place pastry pieces on baking paper before topping with mince. Use the paper to roll up the pastry.
