Ingredients
- Airfryer
- ¼ Shortcrust Pastry
- 200 g Edam Cheese
- 2 Spring Onion
- 2 Tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 Small Egg beaten
- 1 Tbsp Coconut Oil
- 1 Tbsp Thyme
- Salt & Pepper
Instructions
- Clean and thinly dice the spring onion. Grate the cheese.
- Add to a medium mixing bowl the onion, cheese, mayonnaise, coconut oil , salt, pepper and the dried thyme. Mix well and make into 8 small balls and fridge for an hour.
- Roll out your shortcrust pastry and make into 8 nugget shapes. Make sure they are big enough for the 8 cheese fillings without being too big or small.
- Place the cheesy mixture into the centre of each of the pastry shape. Then seal it up so that there are no gaps.
- Using a pastry brush, brush egg over the pastry so that it will have an eggy glow when cooked.
- Cook in the Airfryer for 12 minutes at 180c/356f.
- Serve warm and while the cheese is still melting.
Notes
Edam is fantastic for this recipe as it is not too melty so is perfect for cooking with.
The benefit of fridging the cheese mixture is that the coconut oil goes hard when cold and it stiffens up the mixture enough so that it wont explode later when you cook it.
For a plan B you can also make a chilli version by thinly slicing ½ a small green chilli pepper instead of spring onion. Very nice but too hot for me and my kids.
