This quick and simple recipe is the perfect dinner after a long day at work. Serves 4


Ingredients

½ sheet rolled Plant based puff pastry (we recommend Jus-rol as it’s plant-based)

200g whole cooked beetroot – sliced thinly 

1tbsp olive oil 

1 Orange zest and small thyme sprigs 

Handful of rocket leaves 

Sprinkle Sea salt 

Sprinkle Cracked black pepper


Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200c
  2. Cut the puff pastry into a sheet 
  3. Place on a baking tray with parchment on the bottom and top and then place a heavy pan on top to keep the pastry from raising in the middle
  4. Add in for 12 minutes 
  5. Remove the pan and parchment on top and place back in the oven for 5 minutes.
  6. Remove from the oven and lay the cheese inside the middle. (save some cheese to garnish) Then add the sliced beetroot over the cheese. Drizzle a little oil over the top. 
  7. Add back in the oven for 10 minutes 
  8. While it’s in the oven. Wash the rocket leaves and dress with some olive oil. 
  9. Once the cheese has melted and the sides are nicely golden brown and add some thyme sprigs & orange zest around the top. Add some rocket salad over the top.
  10. Slice and share
