CHEESY BROCCOLI PUFFS

Steps:

• To make the sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan and add the flour.
• Stir for a minute over medium heat then slowly whisk in the milk. The sauce needs to be very thick (but still creamy) in consistency so you might not need all the milk.
• When the sauce is smooth, creamy and thick, turn the heat down and cook the sauce out for approximately 7-10 minutes, stirring regularly, until the sauce is velvety smooth and all flouriness has been cooked out.
• When the sauce is cooked, remove from the heat then add the cheese, steamed broccoli, cayenne pepper and seasoning and stir to combine. Cover the surface of the sauce with a piece of plastic wrap to prevent a film from forming then set aside.
• Pre-heat the oven to 180°c.
• Place the pastries in the holes of a shallow muffin tin, pressing down properly.
• Spoon in the broccoli filling then fold over the edges of the pastry.
• Brush with the beaten egg and place in the oven.
• Allow the pastries to bake for 20-25 minutes until they pastry is golden, crisp and cooked through.
