Preheat the oven to 200°C.

Season to taste and blend the soup until smooth using a hand blender.

Mix the beaten egg and garlic together and brush it over the pastry surface.

Sprinkle with sesame seeds and cut the pastry into ten long strips.

Place strips on a greased baking sheet and bake for 5 to 8 minutes until golden.
