4. Use the pastry rounds to line 12 patty tins.

5. Divide the smoked salmon between the pastry cases, top each with a few sprigs of dill.

6. Beat the egg and milk together, season lightly and pour carefully into each case, taking care not to overfill.

7. Top with a little cheese and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes.

8. Serve warm or cold with salad.
