Preheat the oven to 180C
To cook the filling, in a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter and add in the olive oil.

Meanwhile, remove puff pastry from freezer to partially thaw. Then use a bowl as a guide to cut rounds from the pastry about 2.5cm all the way around than the pots – be generous!
Brush edge of pots with egg. Top with puff pastry, folding down the edges. Brush pastry with egg. Cut a 2cm slide in the middle with a small knife.
Bake 35 – 40 minutes until deep golden.
