👨‍🍳 作り方

1. 1

   Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Form into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Prepare the filling: In a bowl, combine the grated cheese, chopped onion, chopped bell pepper, diced ham/bacon (if using), and black pepper. Mix well.

   💡 プロのコツ: You can also add other finely chopped vegetables like mushrooms or chives.
3. 3

   Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

4. 4

   On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into squares or circles (about 4-5 inches in diameter).

   💡 プロのコツ: Using a cookie cutter or a glass rim can help create uniform shapes.
5. 5

   Place a spoonful of the cheese filling in the center of each dough piece.

   💡 プロのコツ: Don't overfill, or it will be difficult to seal.
6. 6

   Fold the dough over the filling to create a triangle or half-moon shape. Press the edges firmly to seal, using a fork to crimp if desired.

   💡 プロのコツ: Ensure the edges are well sealed to prevent the filling from escaping during baking.
7. 7

   Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds, if using.

   💡 プロのコツ: Egg wash gives a nice golden sheen to the pastries.
8. 8

   Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.

9. 9

   Let cool slightly before serving. These are best enjoyed warm.
