Peach & almond slices recipe

Ingredients

  • 375g pack puff pastry sheet
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 175g marzipan, chopped
  • 3 peaches, halved, stoned and thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp flaked almonds
  • crème fraîche, to serve

Method

  • Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Unroll the pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut in half horizontally. Slice each half into 3.

  • Lay the pastry sheets on a baking sheet. Use a knife to mark a 1cm border on each – be careful not to go all the way through. Prick inside the border with a fork, then brush all over with beaten egg.

  • Bake for 10 mins until golden and slightly risen. Divide the marzipan equally between the pastry squares and fan out the peach slices on top, followed by a sprinkling of almonds.

  • Put the slices back into the oven for 10 mins until they have puffed up and are golden. Serve with a dollop of crème fraîche.
