Step 4

Step 5

5. While your pastry is cooling, chop up some sundried tomatoes, olives and grate some cheese (you can do as much /little as you want)

Step 6

6. Flour a surface, then roll out the pastry until quite thin but not so that it will rip.

Step 7

7. Use a cookie cutter or a cup to cut circles out (make sure you cut enough for each of the mini pies to have lids)

Step 8

8. Use a bit of oil to grease a muffin tin and place one circle on the bottom. make sure it is big enough to reach the top of the sides. Carry on with this until you have the other half left for the lids.

Step 9

9. Put the sundried tomatoes and olives in to each mini pie and sprinkle cheese on it. Then use the other circles as a lid, placing it on top and sealing the sides so it doesn't fall off.
