    Grate the gouda. Roll the pastry on a baking paper until it is about half thinner and lift it onto a baking tray. Using a sharp knife, make cuts about 2 cm from the edges of the pastry so that the knife does not go through the base. Prick the base with a fork. Spread the cream cheese onto the base and sprinkle the grated cheese on top. Brush the edges with egg. Bake in the oven at 225 °C for 25–30 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature.
