Préparation

Preheat oven to 200°C. Using a wooden spoon, beat cheese and sugar until smooth. Add 1 egg and beat until well combined.
Using a 10 cm round cutter, cut out 12 rounds from pastry sheets. Brush pastry edge lightly with water and place a slice of guava paste and 1 tsp cheese mixture in the centre of each round.
Fold over to enclose filling, pressing edges together to seal. Decorate edges by making light indentations with your finger. Place on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Whisk remaining egg in a bowl and brush over each pastry. Sprinkle with extra sugar and bake for 30 minutes or until pastry is golden. Cool on trays for 5 minutes before serving.
