Over lockdown we got bored of the same old breakfasts. Since I no longer had to make food to such strict time deadlines, with school now taking place in our own home, I took to experimenting with new recipes and flavours to up the ante on the first meal of the day.

These pepperoni and cheese puffs are the result of that experimentation! We really enjoy savoury things for breakfast in our house, and eggs are always a go-to, but the slightly spicy, rich pepperoni alongside flavoursome cheese and buttery, flaky pastry have made this a new hit! This recipe could easily work for a lunchtime or afternoon snack, too - or even as finger food for a buffet or party.

Roll out the puff pastry and cut it in 8 squares.

Transfer them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

On each square add about half tablespoon of tomato sauce, cheese and pepperoni.

Fold two opposite corners of each pastry square to form little boats.

Brush each pastry with egg and bake them in a preheated oven at 180ºC (350°F) for 20 minutes or until they are golden-brown.
