Preparation

What You Need

1/2 lb (250 g) Canadian Fresh cheese, any flavour

3 tbsp (45 ml) cream 35 %

2 tbsp (30 ml) brandy

2 cups (500 ml) Canadian Swiss cheese, grated

1 egg, beaten

1 Pinch nutmeg

Salt

Pepper, to taste

1 block of short crust pastry dough (available in stores)

A little water

1 egg yolk

2 tbsp (30 ml) milk

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, beat Canadian Fresh cheese with cream and brandy. Add Canadian Swiss and egg, stir until smooth. Season with nutmeg, salt and pepper.

Roll out dough to a thickness of about 1/8-inch
(3 mm). Cut out circles about 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter.

Place a little filling in the middle of each circle, brush rims with water and fold 3 flaps over filling to form triangles. Pinch firmly to seal and place in refrigerator for about an hour.

Preheat oven to 350 °F (180 °C).

Brush triangles with beaten egg and milk, bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden. Serve hot or warm as an appetiser; with Champagne or another sparkling wine.
