Microwave again on high for 45 seconds.

Mix well to combine, then add the cream cheese and egg, mixing well to combine.

Add whichever flavors you enjoy to this dough too.

(I added finely diced spring onion)

Between two sheets of baking paper, roll out the dough to a large rectangle (about 40cm x 25cm).

Remove the top layer of baking paper, and place on a baking sheet.

Using the pie cases, cut slightly bigger circles than pie cases.

Grease pie cases.

Using another pie case, cut out a perfect circle to place on top of the pie bottom and mixture.

Press edges down with a fork and cut off excess dough with a sharp knife.

Make holes on top of dough.

Beat the one egg, and using a brush, brush the tops of the pies.

Place on a baking sheet.

Bake for 45 mins.
