My little girl every day asks to make something for her lunch at school. She bought a few days in cafeteria her lunch, but anyway she keeps asking me for homemade lunch. So I wanted to surprise my girl and made these hedgehogs. She liked them a lot and I already baked them twice. It”s very easy. We enjoyed them with creamy curry dip. Give it a try and surprise your kids too!

Time needed:
Yields: 6 servings
Calories: 289 kcal / 1 serving
Ingredients:
- 3 sheets puff pastry (from pack with 6 sheets)
- ~200 g minced meat, prepared for patties
- 1-2 black olives
- 1 egg, for coating
Directions:
- Defrost puff pastry and roll a little bit. Each sheet cut in half.
- From minced meat form oblong meatballs, put on one side of puff pastry and roll to small log. One side of puff pastry you can brush with water, that will help to stick pastry sides easily. Edges of the log press and form nice hedgehog face and butt.
- Take scissor and form spikes – with scissor tips cut a little bit pastry.
- Put hedgehogs on a baking tray lined with baking paper. From olives cut eyes and insert them into hedgehog face.
- Bake in a preheated to 200°C oven, while spikes will puff a little bit and starts to brown.
- Take hedgehogs from oven and coat with beaten egg. Put again into the oven and bake while all hedgehogs will brown nicely. All baking time for me was about 30 minutes. Enjoy!

Layered salads with minced meat
This salads are quick and easy to prepare. We made them a couple of times last year, and remembered this year too. Although salad photo in a plate is not so good, but it taste very good anyway 😉
Puff pastry stripes with sprinkles
It’s more the idea than a recipe. But the good one if you have some sprinkles leftovers. And what I liked more – they are just a little bit sweet.
Meatballs with a filling
Tender, soft and very very delicious. For me and my kids they were just perfect, and only my hubby said that they could be more firm. But I think it’s just a matter of taste 🙂 . I prepared them already two times and both times some of the meatballs split, but it had only difference for look, not for taste.
Minced meat, onions and caraway seeds stew
This stew doesn’t require much of your time, it just needs time to braise. I think freshly baked buns would be perfect here, but I had no time for them, so we ate with white bread. Original recipe calls for a lot more caraway, but I adjusted the amount for my family taste. Also be careful with the salt if using stock or you can end up with too salty stew (as I do sometimes 🙂 ).
Minced meat and feta bake
I think this is the last recipe with pasta for some time. Now I’ll take a break from pasta because now we eat a lot of salads, barbecued meat and everything we find in the freezer. Of course when autumn will be near, we gonna need warming and satisfying food, so pasta will be back. Some words about the recipe. It’s satisfying and good, and simple. Unfortunately I had only one third of cheese, but it didn’t ruined the taste.
