Why this recipe works
A dry filling protects the puff pastry
A short strudel about 18 cm long fits a wide basket and makes two small portions. Let vegetables steam off before wrapping; allow extra cooling in a warm kitchen.

Cook
If required by the manufacturer, preheat for 3 minutes at 170 °C. Place seam down on a suitable shallow baking tray. Brush with measured egg and make shallow top slits. Bake about 22 minutes at 170 °C until sides are cooked too. Use a heatproof dish suitable for the appliance, leaving space around it for airflow. Do not preheat with loose paper.
