Unroll the sheets of pastry, then cut into 4 equal squares.
Place a few spoons of the mix onto one side of the square, eggwash the edge and fold over, creating a plump, filled triangle. Repeat with the other 7 squares.
Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sea salt.
Cook in the pre heated oven until nicely browned and cooked through, about 25-30 minutes.
Serve warm but not too hot. Tastes great cold in lunchboxes too.
