Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 220ðC (425ðF) / Gas Mark 7. Thaw the puff pastry sheets if frozen.
  2. Grate the courgettes (zucchini) and chop the shelled prawns. Finely slice the spring onions.
  3. Place the grated courgettes and chopped prawns into two ovenproof soup cups or ramekins.
  4. In a bowl, mix the can of smoked salmon or crab bisque soup with the single cream (or milk), sliced spring onions, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season to taste.
  5. Pour the soup mixture over the vegetables and prawns in the cups, filling them about three-quarters full.
  6. Lightly dampen the rim of each soup cup with a little milk or water to help the pastry adhere.
  7. Cut two circles of puff pastry slightly larger than the top of each cup and lay them over the openings.
  8. Press the edges of the pastry firmly against the damp rim to seal, then trim any excess pastry.
  9. Crimp the edges with a fork or your fingers to flute them, ensuring a tight seal.
  10. Brush the top of each pastry lid with a little milk to encourage browning.
  11. Bake in the preheated oven for 15âÂÂ20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed, golden brown, and crisp.
  12. Remove from the oven and serve immediately while hot.
