Method
Preheat oven to 210°C. Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper.
Combine the mince, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, tomato sauce, parsley, dill cucumbers and 1 egg in a large bowl (use your hands for this, cooking's not fun if things don't get a little messy). Season well with salt and pepper.
Place 1 sheet of pastry on a flat surface. Spoon half the mince mixture along one edge, leaving a rough 3cm border. Top the mince with half of the cheese slices, slightly overlapping.
Roll up pastry to enclose filling. Place seam-down on the prepared tray. Repeat with the remaining pastry, mince mixture and cheese. Place on the remaining tray.
Brush rolls with the remaining egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Pierce with a fork and bake them for 40 - 45 mins, swapping positions of trays halfway through cooking, or until golden and cooked through. Let them cool for 10 mins.
Enjoy with a fresh salad or drench them in tomato sauce.
