quick party recipe

Cut the meat into thin strips and let it marinate in the gyro seasoning overnight in the refrigerator. The next day, fry the meat in a heated pan for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the pan and let it cool. Then mix in about 150g of the grated cheese. Defrost the puff pastry sheets and roll them out a little. Then spread the filling evenly between the sheets. Fold the pastry over the filling and press the edges together with a fork. Brush with the beaten egg and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C top/bottom heat (175°C fan-assisted oven) for about 20 minutes (until the pastry is golden brown). Tastes best when served hot. Tip: If you like, you can mix a finely diced and sautéed onion into the filling.
