Cheshire Cheese And Spinach Stack With Walnut Cream


Spinach and cheese get the gourmet treatment. The creative display makes this otherwise simple supper worthy of a glamorous main course.

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 200g/ 7 oz puff pastry
  • 55g/ 2 oz Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 shallots, finely chopped fine
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • 250g/ 9 oz young spinach leaves, washed
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Freshly ground nutmeg, to taste
  • 200g/ 7 oz Cheshire cheese, grated
  • 55g/ 2 oz walnuts, broken into chunks
  • 150ml/ 5 ½ fl oz double cream

Method

  1. Roll out the puff pastry to ½ cm thick and cut into 12 rounds the size of a small saucer.
  2. Place on a non-stick baking sheet, prick with a fork and place another tray on top so it keeps the pastry flat.
  3. Bake in a hot oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes.
  4. For the spinach mixture, heat the olive oil and fry the shallots and garlic together for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  5. Add the washed spinach leaves and wilt down, seasoning with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
  6. Remove pastries from oven and divide the spinach between the puff pastry discs – scatter with the Cheshire cheese and parmesan then return to the oven for 3 minutes or until melted and gooey.
  7. Gently warm the double cream, add the walnuts and drizzle 2 tablespoons over the pastry discs. Stack into a mini tower on warm individual plates and pour around the remaining cream.
