What could be better than cheese, meat and pastry on a cold day?

3/4 cup (225g) whole egg mayonnaise
1/4 cup (70g) American-style mustard
1/2 tsp smoked hot paprika
200g shaved corned beef or pastrami, roughly chopped
1 cup (110g) coarsely grated Swiss cheese
1 cup (150g) sauerkraut, well drained
6 sheets puff pastry, partially thawed
3 dill cucumber pickles (about 120g), sliced, plus extra to serve
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tsp caraway seeds (optional)

Method

1.

Preheat oven to 200˚C (180˚C fan-forced). Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
2.

Place mayonnaise, mustard and paprika in a small bowl, season and whisk to combine. Set aside.
3.

Place corned beef, cheese and sauerkraut in a bowl, season and stir to combine.
4.

Cut out a 20cm-diameter round from each pastry sheet. Spoon 1 tbs of mustard mayonnaise onto one half of each pastry round, leaving a 2cm border.
5.

Divide corned beef mixture among rounds, placing on top of mustard mayonnaise, and top with pickles and with freshly ground pepper. Fold pastry to enclose filling and pleat edges. Use a sharp knife to make a small slit in the top of each pie.
6.

Transfer pies to lined baking trays, brush with eggwash and scatter with caraway seeds (if using) and salt flakes. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and crisp. Serve pies with remaining mustard mayonnaise and extra pickles alongside.
