Ingredients

  • 8 pieces Brick pastry sheets (medium-sized sheets, handle delicately)
  • 300 g Boneless chicken (cut into small dice or minced)
  • 1 medium Onion (thinly sliced)
  • 1 piece Red bell pepper (seeded and diced)
  • 1 piece Green bell pepper (seeded and diced)
  • 1 tsp Curry powder
  • 1 tsp Dried parsley
  • 1 tsp Fresh ginger (finely grated)
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ¼ tsp Ground black pepper
  • 4 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil (2 tbsp for cooking, 2 tbsp for the cream)
  • 100 g Burger cheese (cheddar or emmental type) (sliced)
  • 2 tbsp Milk (for the cream, can be replaced with coconut milk)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the aromatics

    Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in the pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté until it becomes translucent (≈5 min).

    Time: PT5M

    Temperature: Medium

  2. Cook the bell peppers

    Add the diced red and green bell peppers to the pan, add a pinch of salt and continue cooking until they are tender (≈5 min).

    Time: PT5M

    Temperature: Medium

  3. Season the filling

    Sprinkle the curry, dried parsley, grated ginger, black pepper and salt. Mix quickly, then add the diced chicken. Cook 5 min stirring until the chicken is nicely browned.

    Time: PT5M

    Temperature: Medium

  4. Lightly deglaze

    Pour the 2 tbsp milk into the pan, let reduce for a few seconds to obtain a creamy texture, then remove from heat and let cool.

    Time: PT2M

  5. Prepare the oil cream

    In a small bowl, mix the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil with 2 tbsp milk until a homogeneous mixture is obtained.

    Time: PT2M

  6. Assemble the bricks (first layer)

    On a clean surface, place a brick sheet, lightly brush the entire surface with the oil cream. Place a slice of cheese in the centre, add a tablespoon of filling, cover with another spoon of cheese, then close by folding the edges like an envelope.

    Time: PT5M

  7. Assemble the bricks (second layer)

    Repeat the operation with a second brick sheet, brushing again, adding cheese and filling, then closing. Repeat until ingredients are exhausted (about 8 bricks).

    Time: PT5M

  8. Air fryer cooking of the bricks

    Preheat the air fryer to 180°C for 3 min. Lightly brush the top of each brick with a little olive oil. Arrange the bricks in a single layer in the basket (use parchment paper if needed) and cook 10 min, flip, then cook an additional 5‑7 min until they are golden and crispy.

    Time: PT15M

    Temperature: 180°C

  9. Rest and serve

    Let the bricks rest for 2 min before cutting them in half. Serve hot, optionally accompanied by a small green salad.

    Time: PT2M
