Ingredients
200g ham diced
130g soft cheese like brie
1 tbsp cranberry sauce
about 175g of filo pastry sheets
20g of butter melted
Method
Preheat your oven to 180°C and lightly grease a 12-hole bun tin with some melted butter or a little olive oil.
Filo pastry sheets come in different sizes but generally tend to be square. If you have quite large squares, you can cut these in four. You want your sheets to be about 16cm square. For each parcel you can pile four sheets on top of each other with some melted butter brushed between each sheet.
Place the first sheet on a clean flat surface and brush it with the melted butter. Lay the next sheet down at an angle so by the time you have the four sheets on top of each other they form a star pattern. Gently place each star into the prepared bun tin.
Spoon a little dollop of cranberry, a small bundle of ham and some cheese in the center of each star of pastry. Scrunch the filo pastry slightly. Place into the oven for about 20 to 25 minutes, until golden and the cheese is bubbling, and the meat is heated through.
