Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the puff pastry a scant 1/4 inch thick. Cut out a rectanglee about 9 by 8 inches.Cut the rectangle into 12 strips about 4 x 1.5".
With the long side of each strip facing you, place 1 large or 2 small anchovy in the middle of the pastry, leaving 1/2 inch uncovered from each side. Fold the top of the strip over the fillet(s), enclosing completely, and crimp the edges securely closed with a fork.
Brush the top of each pastry with the egg wash and then sprinkle with a little cheese. Carefully transfer the pastries to the prepared pan, spacing them well apart.
Bake the pastries until puffed and golden, 8-10 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.
