Method

  1. 1

    Thaw the pastry sheets according to the package instructions. Divide the blue cheese into 12 pieces.

  2. 2

    Cut the pastry sheets in half diagonally from corner to corner to make two triangles. Roll out the bottom edge of the triangle to flatten and widen it slightly.

  3. 3

    Make two vertical slits in the triangle towards the sharp corner. Place about 2 tsp of jam and a dollop of blue cheese at the wider end. Sprinkle with a little chopped almonds. Roll up the pastry starting from the jam end.

  4. 4

    Place the Christmas tarts on a baking sheet and brush with beaten egg. Sprinkle with chopped almonds.

  5. 5

    Bake the tarts on the lower rack of a 225-degree oven for about 17 minutes. Let cool for a moment before serving. You can dust them with a little icing sugar.
