Preparation steps

1.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (180° fan) | 400F | gas 6.
2.
Place the peppers in a roasting tin and toss in olive oil, then season. Roast until lightly blackened and tender – 20-30 minutes.
3.
Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut in half to form two rough squares. Score a rim about 1 cm | 0.5" lightly from the edge.
4.
Place the puff pastry squares on a greaseproof paper-lined baking sheet, prick all over with a fork, except the rims. Bake in the oven for 5-7 minutes or until the rims are lightly puffed up.
5.
Remove from the oven and leave to cool slightly. Either scatter the chopped anchovy or spread a little pesto over the base, then layer on the roasted peppers.
6.
Arrange the cheese evenly over the peppers. Paint a little egg wash on the pastry rims.
7.
Return to the oven and bake until golden for about 15 minutes.
