- Cut the pastry sheet into 8 equal rectangles.
- Place 4 rectangles on the lined tray, leaving space between them.
- Spoon a quarter of the filling into the centre of each rectangle and brush egg wash around the edges.
- Top each with another rectangle and seal the edges with a fork.
- Score the tops a few times with a sharp knife without cutting through, brush with egg wash, and make a couple of small holes in the centre with the knife tip.
- Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown, then serve.
