Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the gluten-free puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness. Cut the pastry into 12 equal rectangles.
Slice the Gouda cheese into 6 strips that are about 2 cm wide and as long as each pastry rectangle. Make sure they aren't too thick to ensure proper melting.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to make an egg wash.
On 6 of the pastry rectangles, spread a thin layer of mustard. Place a strip of Gouda cheese on top of the mustard layer.
Season the cheese with a pinch of salt and a dash of ground black pepper.
Brush the edges of the pastry rectangles with the egg wash.
Place the remaining 6 pastry rectangles over the top of the cheese-covered rectangles, pressing the edges lightly to seal them together.
Crimp the edges with a fork to ensure they are properly sealed.
Brush the tops of each kaasbroodje with the remaining egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Transfer the kaasbroodjes to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffs up beautifully.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. These are best enjoyed warm.
