Method
- Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the leeks, pepper and mushrooms over a high heat for 2-3 minutes. Leave to cool a little, tip off any excess moisture and season.
- Roll out half of the pastry on a floured board to a 25cm/10in square and transfer to a greased baking sheet; spread with the mustard. Roll out the rest of the pastry to a 30cm/12in square.
- Spoon leek mixture into centre of pastry; scatter over cheese and thyme. Brush edges with cold water, place reserved pastry on top and crimp edges together. Make slits in pastry, brush with egg, then bake for 25-30 minutes until golden.
