Ingredients

500g chicken mince

1 cup grated tasty cheese

1 cup baby spinach leaves, finely chopped

2 green onions, finely chopped

¼ cup packaged dried breadcrumbs

1 clove garlic, crushed

3 sheets frozen puff pastry, just thawed

1 egg, lightly beaten

¼ cup poppy seeds

Tomato sauce, to serve

Method

Step 1

Line a large oven tray with baking paper.

Step 2

Combine mince, cheese, spinach, onions, breadcrumbs and garlic in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well.

Step 3

Cut pastry sheets in half. Set aside one piece.

Step 4

Divide mince mixture into five even portions. Form each portion into a sausage shape along a long edge of pastry halves. Roll up, brushing opposite edge with egg to seal. Cut each roll into four. Arrange on prepared tray, seam-side down.

Step 5

Roll small pieces of the reserved pastry into balls. Referring to picture as a guide, use a little of the egg to attach one piece to each side of the rolls for bolts. Brush one end of each roll with egg to create a jagged edge. Coat with poppy seeds for hair.

Step 6

Cook in a 200°C preheated oven for 20-25 mins until puffed and golden.

Step 7

Squeeze sauce onto rolls for eyes and mouths, as shown. Serve with extra sauce.
