Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Put the beans in a bowl with the spinach, courgette and cheese. Mash together slightly with a potato masher, then stir in the egg yolk; season with black pepper.
- Lay the pastry on a work surface with a long edge closest to you. Spoon the filling in a thick sausage shape along this side, 2.5cm from the edge. Roll the pastry forwards into a large sausage-shaped roll. Cut into 8 equal smaller rolls.
- Transfer to a lined baking tray with the pastry seam at the bottom. Brush the tops with the egg white, then bake for 20 mins until golden.
