Pastry
Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 200 °C. Line a baking sheet with baking paper.

For the egg wash beat the egg with salt and sugar. Brush over the pastry.
Bake for 20 - 25 minutes until golden brown and puffy. Leave to cool.

Line a baking tray with baking paper. Spoon heaped teaspoons of the grated cheese onto the paper 2 cm apart.
Bake for ± 10 minutes until the cheese melts and is golden and crisp.
Leave to cool. Carefully remove just before needed.
Can be made in advance and stored in an airtight container, still on the baking paper.
To Assemble
