Cover a baking tin with parchement paper, then a 23 cm circle of puff pastry followed by another sheet of paper.

Put a 18 cm pan in the middle of the puff pastry, to keep that part down while the outside can rise. Bake for 15 mins.

In the meantime blend 70g feta with a glug of cream, 1 tsp herbs de Provence and some pepper.

Slice a second apple and fry the segments in butter and 1 tbsp sugar, not too long.

Get the pastry bottom from the oven and raise the temperature to 220°

Beat an egg and to brush over the raised part of the pastry.

Cover the rest with the feta cream. Add the red cabbage, the fried apple slices and finally 60g of crumbled feta cheese.

Bake in the oven for another 15 mins.
