Cheesy Pinwheels

I love cheese. I love pastry. I love soup. Sometimes I want something other than plain old bread to go with soup - mostly so that it looks like I've really made an effort with dinner, when really it was no effort at all! This recipe is my answer to all of these things in one neat, swirly little package - and, even though it means I'll need to come up with a new trick to make it look like I've slaved over dinner, I wanted to share it with you.

Hoisin Tart

As much as the title of this post might sound like an insult, it's not. It's an Ellwood favourite for a quick, simple, tasty, and budget friendly dinner. Winner all round!

One of my favourite things about this dish is that it's good for using up leftovers. I quite often have a few stray spring onions left in the salad drawer from another recipe that didn't call for a whole bunch. As for the meat, you really can use up whatever you've got! We had some slow cooked beef to hand that was shredded up, but we have used chicken, turkey, pork and lamb before and all worked beautifully!

A word to the wise- make sure when preparing this you only let people help if they are actually going to be helpful! Mr E thought he was oh so cute with his "One bit of cheese for me and.... one bit of cheese for me". After getting his hand slapped he really wasn't much more help because he likes a looooot of cheese (see photo evidence below). Please do not feel the need to overload it as much as we have!
