3 Tbsp Gordon’s ‘Ready to Rage’ Gherkin Relish
½ teaspoon ground smoked paprika
1 egg, whisked
1 Tbsp white sesame seeds

Method:

Preheat oven to 190 deg C and line two baking trays with baking paper. Cut pastry in half lengthways. Spread Gordon’s ‘Ready to Rage’ Gherkin Relish over one half, cover with grated cheese and smoked paprika. Place the remaining pastry on top and roll out.
