Tom Kerridge's Giant Cheesy Vol au Vents | M&S FOOD

Take a sheet of M&S butter puff pastry and cut it into three strips widthways.

Lay the strips on top of each other.

Use an 11 cm cutter to cut out two circles from the stacked pastry.

Repeat the same process with a second sheet of pastry.

Move the pastry circles onto a baking tray.

Use an 8 cm cutter to press down halfway in the center of each circle.

Pierce the middles of the circles with a fork.

Brush the pastry circles well with beaten egg and sprinkle a little salt on top.

Pop the pastry circles in the oven until they've risen and turned a deep golden brown.

While the pastry is cooking, fry off some thickly sliced leeks in olive oil and butter.

Add thyme and cauliflower to the leeks and pour in chicken stock.

After 5 minutes, stir in M&S garlic and herb soft cheese and grated Lancer cheese, then season to taste.

Remove the vol au vents from the oven and leave them to cool slightly.

Push the middle part of the pastry down with the back of a spoon.

Add the warm filling into the pastry and sprinkle with chives before serving.
