All you need is puff pastry, cheese, beans and sausage (the pre-mixed ones in a can would work well) and an egg. 

First, crank up your oven to 180C (gas mark 4) and then begin on the pastry prep. 

Cut two squares of puff pastry and egg wash the edges, before mixing the beans and chopped up sausage in a separate bowl.

Then add the beans and sausage to the middle of one of the squares.

Sprinkle some cheese on top, and then add the identical square on top.

Use a fork to seal the edges of the pastry, and use the rest of the egg wash across the top of the bake. 

Add to the oven for 20 minutes until golden brown and piping hot throughout.
