2. Lay pastry on floured work surface and cut into 7.
3. 5 cm rounds.
4. sit the circles on an oiled baking sheet and score a circle about 2.
5. 5 cm from the edge of each disc by pressing gently with a 5 cm cutter.
6. Pierce the middle with a fork, brush each edge with egg and top with a little cranberry sauce.
7. Slice the cheese 5mm thick so that you have a slice per pastry disc.
